Every time I open a new tab I am sent to the Ad-aware Secure Serch page. I have downloaded the New Tab add-on and the NewTabURS add-on but neither of them work.
Every new tab opens to the Ad-aware SecureSearch page. When a new tab was opened I used to get a page with my most used sites. I have tried to find and remove this program but nothing I have used will find it. I have downloaded some add-ons to change what occurs when a new tab is open but none of these will replace the Ad-aware search page. Can you tell me how to get rid of this. this is the address of the new tab page now:
securedsearch.lavasoft.com/?pr=vmn&id=webcompa&ent=hp_WCYID10088_cnet_141226

Hi, I'm afraid it sounds as if malware has got in, so please work through this article. You may then also need to: Type about:config into the address bar, press Enter, accept the warning, scroll down to browser.newtab.url and make sure 'Value' is set to about:newtab (right click to change it).
Hope that solves your problem.
Thank you, the modification to the about:config file worked.
