Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

Bonjour,

J'ai eu ce même problème hier soir, et je n'ai pas réellement trouvé de topic dessus. Les seules choses qui m'ont aidées à trouver ce que j'avais était de vérifier si j'avais des malwares, des virus... Mais au final, je me suis rappelée que je venais juste d'installer des modules complémentaires (pas forcément utiles) qui ne me servaient pas : je les ai désactivés et supprimés (pour certains) et j'ai redémarré Firefox. Sur ce, maintenant, ma page d'accueil est bien http://www.google.fr. :)

I had the same problem. Here is how I fixed it (on Windows 7 in German), it's very very easy: Go to START>Systemsteuerung>Programme>Programm deinstallieren. Remove the Program: "Windows searchqu toolbar". The searchnu.com website is no longer there!!!
