Firefox searches redirect me through a link that starts with creditpuma.com or dietpuma.com or insurancepuma.com and/or foodpuma.com How can I stop this? Please help.
While typing in searches, the browser automatically adds creditpuma.com (and other names that include puma.co) to the beginning of the url.

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.
