I have a problem similar to the "Abuchak" problem listed in your forums. This is something different though. When I am at Yahoo or Google, I click a link and it takes me to another search listing. Sometimes it takes me to various sites where Avast (virus proggy) tells me it has blocked a malicious virus.

The last website it sent me to was http://64.111.211.188

I can, however, highlight the website under the link and paste it in the address field and that works out, but that's a pain. This has been going on for 2 weeks.

I have run Spybot, SpySweeper & Ad-Aware but it doesn't help.

How can I keep this software from taking over Firefox?

Please help. Thanks.

Uninstall the "ConnectBar" extension, you may have to reset keyword.URL in your about:config afterwards or change to a value you prefer for Location bar searches.

The extension is not at Addons, it may have been obtained from an advertisement on Facebook.
