This randomly popped up a while ago, I do not recall installing a search bar? Here's a picture of it http://gyazo.com/c927527320b23f67d813501ee553ebf0.png I heard it was an adware called Complitly, but while attempting to uninstall it, I couldn't find the program "Complitly" when I went to the control panel to uninstall it. What is this and how can I get rid of it? I'm running Windows 7, and Firefox, of course.

Try getting rid of it with ADWCleaner. Here's a LifeHacker article on it and it's completely safe: http://lifehacker.com/adwcleaner-removes-toolbars-and-other-malware-in-one-cl-734204747 http://lifehacker.com/adwcleaner-removes-toolbars-and-other-malware-in-one-cl-734204747

You can also try getting rid of it with the free version of Super Anti Spyware here: http://superantispyware.com/ http://superantispyware.com/
