Thank you - at last! I feel much better for having the info on what searchqu actually is too. Cheers

Very easy to remove people. just go into uninastall a program, look down the list, and it is hiding under WINDOWS ILIVID TOOLBAR BANDOO MEDIA , just uninstall it , and it shall dissapear and your beautiful provider shall return, the problem is.. i was looking under ilivid and bandoo in the uninstall list, but its down the bottom in the w , WINDOWS ILIVID TOOLBAR hope this helps

There is a program called "DataMngr" that gets installed in C:\Program Files\....". There exists an Uninstall.exe in the same directory, after doing this, The browser is restored for me.

Hope this helps.

Hi. My reply refers to firefox: TAKE NOTE. I uninstalled Bandoo - did not solve the problem. I followed the norton community suggestions. Problem was not solved. Then I read that programme: ASWmbr.exe by Avast antivirus - free virus removal thingy was the holy grail. so I ran it successfully - no go - searchqu.com still hanging about on search line in Firefox. So starting again, Delete Windows Ilivid toolbar by Bandoo in control panel After reading that the mini virus was probably lodged somewhere in the FIREFOX programme, I then uninstalled all Firefox programmes (Mozilla) - go to your control panel to do this. Then reinstall firefox 9 Run it ....... AT LAST THAT NASTY LITTLE PIMPLE HAS GONE. I found it easier to remove it from Internet Explorer by deleting the offending line and reconfiguring my preferred search engines i.e. Google and Yahoo

Hi, My name is John, and I'm a member of the Searchqu Support Team. I'm here to help :) When the software was installed onto your pc it offered two basic installs, typical installation, which lists the add-on features such as searchqu homepage, and Custom installation, which allows you to select the add-ons that you wish to install. There's no need to worry if you did the typical install - this isn't a virus, nor malware, and there's no need to Perform a virus scan against it. if you still wants to change searchqu as your homepage please check: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page
