Whilst in the process of getting rid of AOL I managed to get invaded by searchqu which installed a toolbar in my firefox homepage. After using spybot, threatfire and symantic on the issue; also removing the toolbat addon I am still left with the address of www.searchqu.com/406 in the search box.

I can get rid of this if I get a google address from the history tab.

would it be best to uninstall Firefox and re-install again?

what would happen to all my bookmarks.

help !!
