Firefox Zugo / Bing Redirect leftovers.

Elsewhere within the confines of WindowsBBS you will find helpful, knowledgeable people who will walk you through the steps for removal of the Trojan that hijacks your searches and throws you this way and that across the ether. However, if after all of that removal and cleaning and redoing you are still getting redirects but only in Firefox - I have your solution:

OK now, the anti-spyware and antivirus ware and all of that happy horse$#!t removed the root cause but leaves a little something-something behind that allows it to hijack and continue to mess with you. I found THE REST of the problem:

1. Go to the browser and type: about:config (hit enter)

2. Heed the warnings but go in anyway

3. Find the keyword.url line. 4. right click the end of it and select reset.

If you were like me you saw that all too familiar zugo and Bing on that line.

Ha, victory is ours!

XP/Firefox, did about:config, put 'zugo' into filter line, found additional item 'extensions.searchtoolbar.zugo.com.install-event-fired' , boolean, true. Set it to false, just a guess.
