Hello. I tried your removal processes posted here – http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-dosearches-com.html – however, dosearches is still showing up on my computer. I have Malwarebytes as well as BitDefender Total Security (subscription), and have run both several times. I have also run CCleaner. There is no trace on my add/remove programs, or on any of my browsers. Any idea how I can get rid of it without resetting Firefox (I have way too many bookmarks saved that I need for Grad School!)?
