Vosteran taken over...? how can I change it?

[andrew1]

I'm a Mozilla Firefox user. each time I click on the Firefox Icon to access the Internet I get the Mozilla tab and my Google homepage...simples...

 

The other day I downloaded something and somehow it has thrown up Vosteran as the preferred browser - even though I clicked the Mozilla icon - I've never heard of Vosteran....

 

I went to program removal and uninstalled it and anything remotely looking as having Vosteran name in it and as far as I can see, that was it.....but, the same things continues even once uninstalled.....any of you techi's know what this is and how I can rid myself of this irritating screen?

 

I bow to your better knowledge than I on techi things....

 

Thank you

Thanks George, I think I've cracked it now, but such a waste of my time going through it. Apparently this was something automatically downloaded when I updated Adobe - drives me mad when these software houses ride a program on the back of something else which faffs up all your defaults....I had some guy telephone me a couple of days ago telling me he was from World Wide Web department and asked me to sit in front of my PC so he could talk me through removing all the cr*p on my machine....picked it up from my IP address and URL or some such tosh.....as an error report.....me not techi, but me not born yesterday either....so where did my phone number come from I asked myself he'd phoned me on?

 

Naturally I gave him nowt but I guess some might have listened.....me and techi things don't get on and that's why I stick to my clapped out old PC not wishing to change - no doubt I'll end up having it crash and I lose everything, but until then, thank god for that little box I plugged in and send all my files to!

 

Thanks for your help....
