    why is FireFox (and Google) suddenly directing searches to a PUP site?


    Staritng about yesterday, MalwareBytes Anti-Malware keeps blocking search results, because the search result wants to bring up mps.eanswers.com. I'm using FireFox V 63.0, 64-bit version. I edited FireFox preferences to remove all search engines except Google from my search engine choices. So as a practical matter, I can no longer do seaches using the search bar.

    Only if I first go to Google can I get search results. What is going on here?

    :)

    IE11 Google Toolbar no auto search suggestions, no search history?


    Since the last Win 10 update my Google Toolbar won't list any search suggestions as I type and there is no search history listed. The Google tool bar will allow a search, but after a few searches no search history shows and no "clear search" button is listed either.

    I have turnd on "Suggest searches as you type", and "store search histroy on my computer" in the Google Toolbar options.

    Any suggestions to fix this?

    Google Plans a Web-browser, To be called Google Chrome

    Keep in mind the default page for Firefox is Google search. Coincidence? I think not.

    Google Plans a Web-browser, To be called Google Chrome

    Firefox 2's built in address bar suggestion is an exact rip-off of google desktop search.
