Man that is the first thing to Check
It is www.google.co.in

thats the reason I am more confused..

i use opera but have tried firefox. so, my suggestions may not be very specific, please check if applicable...

1. In firefox, u have a configuration command that u can type and access - supposed to be very detail. Check it out and search for any references to that webpage.
2. Is it possible u have the page bookmarked and set the homepage to use bookmark?
3. Try calling the firefox browser from the Start->Run command and include "*google.co.in" as the url (prob. will be like
"C:\Program Files\Firefox\firefox.exe" "*google.co.in") and see if u can get the correct result. If u can, set this as ur shortcut command...
4. Open regedit and scan for the website url.

Hope this helps,
Arun

Comon Guys ... You can post more than this... !!!

I know that ..
One layman solution is .. Reinstall

and

Otherone is Delete the profile in
C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

This will Solve the problem

BUT I WANT TO KNOW FROM YOU GEEKS ..
IS THERE ANY POSSIBILTY OF SIMPLY REMOVING THAT
www.majorgeeks.com

I dont know where the hell it came from


@saurav_cheeta

I have the latest version.. 1.0.7, everthing is upto date
no virus dedtected by anti-virus, and no-adware dedected by Ad-ware remover

My Rig: AMD Athlon64 2800+ Asus K8N + 512 MB DDR400
running WinXP SP2 with all updates

As far as I can think, a malware has been installed into your system, using the `pop-under' method. Firefox is very good in stopping pop-ups, but it just cannot stop every popup. If you had `spywareblaster' (freeware) in your system along with `spybot search & destroy') they might have blocked the flaws of the browser

Yes I have .. `spywareblaster' (freeware)
but its not enabled right now

Arghhh that should have been enabled. Seems it's too late now.. You gotta go back to re-installing (no big deal).. Export you bookmarks (the main thing) Bookmark>Manage Bookmark then in the new page File>Export

What this sit www.majorgeeks.com really is!

site to download stuff

Is it spywaresite ..

or Is it a good site

Cant we find its source.. or cause

its not a spyware site
there are some good useful system utilities in there

try making blank as your home page .. restart ..
then change homepage to google (or whtever)

i have one quest ..
does this majokgeek page come everytime u want to open google
or it comes only when FF is first opened?

-----
alibi

makin it blank - and setting google.co.in didnt worked

And
This comes up every time a new window is opened

taskbar of firefox first states searching www.google.co.in .. then it changes to www.majorgeeks.com

So, I press ESC key to stop .. and open my desired page

I think it has made an entry into the registry or profile of firefox
