It seems I agreed to make softonicstart.com as my default search engine when I was installing few programs on my computer. Now I cannot get rid of it. I don’t mind using the alternative search engine, but this one delivers such strange results that I feel that might enter an infected website. Could you give me instructions how to remove this search engine? I use Mozilla Firefox. Thanks!

Indeed, you might have agreed to make this search engine as your default one indirectly. Using it is also not recommended because of its ability to modify search results. As you have mentioned, some of the links and websites are strange and suspicious. Unfortunately, you might also end up on a malicious site where you can get infected with ransomware or become a victim of an online scam. Therefore, you should remove so-called Softonicstart.com virus immediately. You can follow manual removal instructions, or you can run a full system scan with a reputable anti-malware program. Choose the method that suits you best!
