Although I set my startup preference as "Show my windows and tabs from last time" is some how changes to "Show my home page" and the home page changes to

http://uk.minehp.com/?tn=sdkw_inner_minehp_uk&guid=9f0c8baa23e7e5b014c4128e56c3c9dc

despite being set as www.google.co.uk

My PC is being protected by Kaspersky and there is no sign of malware.

Thanks for your time,

John.

Note: Some software, like Advanced SystemCare with Surfing Protection, can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes. If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.

You may have ad / mal-ware. Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
