I am trying to remove Nattly Defender but I am unable to do so. It says I need permission. How can I remove it?
I accidentally added nattly as my homepage as well as this nattly defender. When I change the homepage back to Firefox, the next day, nattly shows up again. Help!

Nattly is a really tough cookie (pun intended). One frustrating thing about it is that once you've followed all the online instructions and they're still not working for you when you start Firefox from the taskbar where you pinned it is that it still directs you to Nattly Search Engine. Just unpin it and then repin it from the desktop icon.
I trust you've done all the following (Windows 7):
1. right click the desktop icon for FF and go to properties, then remove the Nattly argument from the end of the Target: line 2. use free SUPERAntiSpyware (or other) to remove the offending programs that keep writing Nattly directives to the registry (cookies too) 3. use Regedit on the command line from the Start Menu; click on edit > find and find all references to Nattly one by one, and modify each entry to read google.com (or whatever you prefer) instead of nattly.com 4. type about:config in the FF URL entry field and search for all references to Nattly and do the same thing here. 5. Reset FF by clicking on Help > Troubleshooting Information > click on the Reset button. 6. finally, use Windows Explorer to send the Nattly folder to the trash bin. It is found in C:/users/(user)/Appdata/roaming
That should do it. Don't forget to reset your home page to whatever you prefer. I use Google.ca

Thank you everyone for your advice. I finally managed to get rid of it after noticing it was attached to a mock Firefox address; sneaky!
