How to remove free ride search engine

Asked By hargrave lawrence 0 points N/A Posted on - 01/31/2013

I downloaded from the web a freeware game and installed it on my PC.  I wasn't able to figure it out that there are free ride search engines were included and installed together with the game. I manually uninstalled them one by one and reboot my PC. But to my surprise, there are still customized games and search engines installed in my 3 web browsers (firefox, chrome and IE). How can I completely remove free ride search engine? Please help.

How to remove free ride search engine

Hello,

In Firefox go to Tools from menu, then select Add-ons. Go to Extensions and disable the search engines that you don’t want to have.

In Google Chrome you can remove don’t wanted search engines by going in Chrome menu, then select Settings:

1. Here for disable or remove extensions, go in Extensions and uncheck the extension that you don’t want.

2. If the search engines opens in Home button the go Appearance and click Show Home Button and check for URL.

For Internet Explorer go to Tools from menu, click on Manage Add-ons and select All Add-ons. Then find the engine you want to remove and click disable, and disable again for confirming the change. 

Regards,
