How to remove Blekko search from my browser
Googling happens alot in my day to day job. Today when I searched for sth in google I got results comming up with Blekko in a way that I am not familiar with. I got very annoyed with Blekko search result. To get rid of this I had tried many alternatives by going add-on window and removed all un-known add-ons, extensions, plugins, but no positive result. Then the last option for me to try was to go to clean application data manually.
- Close your browser
- Go to C:\Documents and Settings\[your-user]\Application Data\Mozilla\Extensions\. Remove everything inside this folder.
- Start your browser and try to search. Blekko gone.
Removing everything under C:\Documents and Settings\[your-user]\Application Data\Mozilla\Extensions\ folder you would loss your data.
Cleaning the C:\Documents and Settings\[your-user]\Application Data\Mozilla\Extensions\ is not the best solution. but I could not find any other and my time boxing was done So I chose to do it this way.
If you have the same problem with Blekko and get a better solution please let me know.
I got rid of it from both IE and Firefox and posted brief directions here http://www.bitchwindows.com
It wasn’t easy and had to ediot the registry to get if off IE. Firefox was a bit easier.
I hope the instructions I posted there will help, and if there are any questions please let me know.
