Having issues with setting up a homepage
I have downloaded a freeware about 2-3 days ago (today 25 Jan 2016), without being aware that adware has hijacked all my browsers. I am consistently switching from Firefox and Google Chrome for web development purpose, and mainly I am having issues in removing adware.
The following things I have tried: - Refresh Firefox - Delete Mozilla registry keys in regedit - Kill the adware on my Task Manager and remove the file location - Uninstall and install Firefox - Setting up Homepage to blank page (still redirected to location folder).
The McAFee has removed several virus already. However I am still having issues with setting up my homepage. Also doing a scan with AVG and checking if there are any more viruses to delete. So what should I do?

You may have ad / mal-ware. Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
It’s very sad, but many of the software down-loaders / installers will trick you into installing not only their program, but other programs as well. You have heard of the fine print in shady contracts, right? Well, some installers you need to look at the itsy bitsy teeny weeny fine print. You are thinking you are giving the installer permission to install the program you want by using the recommended option. But if you use the Manual Option Instead, you discover all kinds of stuff that you do not even know what it is or what it does. From now on, everyone needs to Use The Manual Option to put a stop to this.
