I am always getting this up as my unwanted and potentially dangerous search engine:
It came up when I was having problems with my PC antivirus program and I cannot now remove it from Firefox or Google Chrome.
I HAVE removed it from Windows by uninstalling it at Control Panel on Windows. Yet it still appears here each time I go to Firefox or Chrome.
Please advise.

hello ukthesis, try to run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner - they are specialised in removing browser hijackers.
Download the Mozilla Search Reset {web link} This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up and then resets your search preferences and home page to their default values, and then uninstalls itself. This affects the search bar, URL bar searches, and the home page
I tried that and it did not work. However, yesterday I subscribed to the 30 days trial period for Norton. And a guy on there, today, removed it for me.
