When firefox opens up, the search window on the right has My Web Search within. often, when I want GOOGLE, I get this "My Web Search", 'powered by google. My searches are terrible...MyWebSearch gives me a lot of worthless [obviously] paid-for search results.

I followed their instructions and deleted it by 'removing the program' in my control panel, etc., through the start menu. yet this lingers, and i can't find it anywhere in my computer memory to try to reemove it again.

It sux!

I want to use good old google!!

Help me get rid of it!!

hello hmsa76l79, please also go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, etc).

Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page

afterwards install the search reset addon - it will revert the most common customziations those adware programs do in firefox back to the default: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
