Find that at each update, the Startpage search engine is re-installed WITHOUT my permission. I understand startpage can be defined as a PUP, and I don't trust it. The most aggravating thing is that installing add-ons and extentions without users' permission is unconscionable.

Would like to know if there is any way I can block the reinstallation of this at each update.

Thanks.

This does not come with any version of Firefox install or as an update from Mozilla.

Perhaps this is being installed by one of your Extensions you have installed in Firefox or by a external software you have installed or updated recently.

Thanks for your reply James. If anyone has any specific information and steps to take to prevent this PUP being installed, I'd appreciate it.

All of the extensions I have are reasonably trustworthy and I would like to try to track down and block startpage from reinstalled.
