Ashampoo has put itself as my homepage and I can't get rid of it.
I recently upgraded to Ashampoo version 6 free. When it had finished downloading, I noticed it has put itself and Bing as my homepage. I have been into Cotrol panel>internet otions and selected Google as homepage, but Ashampoo is still there. I have even deleted the Ashampoo prgramme off my computer, but cannot get rid of it as my homepage. I then went into Firefox and deleted the add-on for the toolbar, but still the same. Please, someone, HELP!

To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following.
- In the location bar, type about:config and hit Enter.
- In the filter at the top, type: keyword.URL
- Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q=
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
To reset your home page, do the following.
- Go to the site you want to set as your homepage.
- Click the orange Firefox button and go to Options | Options | General
- Make sure it says "Show My Homepage" in the first dropdown menu.
- Click the button called "Use Current Pages" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.
After you complete the above steps, install this add-on to prevent another search engine from modifying your preferences: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browserprotect/

Thanks Xircal, that has worked.
Why did the Ashampoo programme usurp my homepage like that, and why couldn't I get rid?
