On start-up, timesindia.xyz opens up which is not my home page, cant remove it.
Seems some kind of spyware or adware....also getting redirected all the time from many websites. Have kaspersky antivirus installed...Tried everything i could...but it always opens up on start up.

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc.
- please go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).
- also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
- finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner, which are specialised in adware and browser hijackers.

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