    Goodbye FF


    I used to use FireFox a lot a few months ago. But the odd thing is that if I accidentally try doing a search in the address bar, it sends me to isearch.fantastigames.com which I guess is a browser hijack. I guess my technician got that on the computer by mistake while trying to install software after fixing my pc in April. I tried removing it with AVG but it was never detected. Since I don't want to download all the removal software needed to remove it. IE was always my default browser and it will always be but I guess I'll have to use Safari for things that don't work correctly on IE.

    And just so you know, I have tried doing all other methods that do not require software download. Also I should try and fix my computer at home if possible.

    I don't care about it because it is just a PUP. I could just bypass it by using another browser.

    I will actually remove it if it does become a big problem.

    Fascinating for sure.
    Computer0304 if you ever do desire to remove such things their are 3 programs I recommend.
    AdwCleaner
    Malwarebytes Anti Malware
    Eset Online Scanner.

    Sure ill do that if I ever want to remove it. And yes, many have noticed me to have a fascinating and slightly odd thought process. But I bet im getting a new pc before i even use those programs.
