Goonsearch keeps reappearing as search tool after I enter a destination in Mozilla search window. I know it is a virus. I have run Spyware Doctor and downloaded Mozilla both several time and can't get rid of Goonsearch. Any suggestions?

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.
