Hello, does anyone of you guys know a way to remove the Hao123 Toolbar from Firefox?
The toolbar is not in the Control panel, nor I can find it in the browsers' add-on list I use windows 7
Hao123 Toolbar Removal

Thank you guys
I did as theprolo said and searched in google (turned out there really was some information, so probably next time i'll just have to search before asking :-D ) So this is what i found http://www.americanpendulum.com/2012/11/13/hao123-toolbar/ It says there that Hao123 is a browser hijacker and that (as in my case) it starts controling my browser and the search results that show up. Unfortunately there were no manual removal instructions anywhere, so the only way to remove the infection was with an antimalware program. I downloaded one and did a full scan. Then it deleted the toolbar and now my computer is back to normal *whew*
AM6644, there was no need to reinstall the browser, which is a good thing, because i have a lot of bookmarks and i didn't want to loose all of my history.
Thanks again.
