Quote:Is it specifically Firefox and Google or IE as well?

By far the simplest solution ... if you have system restore enabled roll back to before you had the issue.


Thank you Frodo. Isn't bing an app linked to IE? I'm currently using that as my search engine without issues,but I prefer Google.

Rolling back would create some problems with new software. I will take your advice and go to specialist forum


ADDENDUM:

15 minutes later; FIXED bing was also stuffed,as was Yahoo. I went to a bookmarked freeware site I've been using for years and found a freestanding application called 'Desktop Highjack Fix'. It restored the desktop default settings. Google now seems to be working fine,taking me directly to the chosen result link.


Thank you Frodo for explaining what was actually wrong.
