How do I get rid of Any Search Manager on a Mac Pro? Thank you
When I downloaded Adobe Flash, Firefox suddenly took on Any Search Manager. How do I get rid of it? Many thanks

Hello Calling,
As you have already guessed : you've picked up some malware, which you of course will want to get rid of.
Go to the Firefox menu (≡) / Preferences => Add-ons => Extensions and remove anything that looks unfamiliar or suspicious.
Next step : run malwarescans - further information can be found in this article :

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. They all work differently - what one program doesn't pick up, the other might.
