View Single Post - How do I remove the yahoo search bar from AVG SafeSearch?

I think it's in the Add/Remove programs.

Once I got it removed, my Firefox functionality was still hosed.

I like the fact that I can just type "Youtube" or "Facebook" and
Firefox just goes there, without making me chose from a search
page first.

AVG took that away from me.

Even after I removed the Yahoo search bar, Firefox still went to
a search page every time I typed a basic location.

I even uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it. AVG still had control.

I found no settings in the AVG control panel to "undo" this mess.

I uninstalled AVG, reinstalled Firefox and all was well again.
