"Sweetpacks" is a piece of malware that hijacks all your browsers, changing the homepage and search engine to this page. It pretends to be Bing, but it's obviously not. It's also extremely difficult to remove, like most malware.

Piece of crap hijacked Firefox and seems like the only way to get firefox to work right might be to uninstall and reinstall - and if I uninstall I will probably move to a different browser entirely

Hijacked my browser homepage and looks very very suspiciously like adware/spyware. Stay away if you don't want a headache and a half trying to remove it >=(

I don't know what it is, or what you call it...but, I've re-installed Foxfire twice, I removed it from my registry, I removed it from my Add-ons... I uninstalled from my programs... I've run a cleaner program... and I can't get rid of it.. Honest, this is one of the most bizarre "web-jacker" ever. I don't mind saying, "It sucks"... Big time.

Does anyone know how to get rid of it without reloading firefox? Does Mozilla know about this? ernie Thank God. I got rid of it by going back several restore point on my system. This is terrible! I got Sweet Pack accidentally down loaded when I was trying to download the latest version of a utility I use from CNET. A lot of these down load sites are hiding this type of junk on their down load pages. If you do not read every last word, You get a bunch of junk downloaded with what you want. They must be making money with this. We have to start down grading the site that do this crap!

People should be put in jail for creating this kind of computer virus! Is there really no law against damaging peoples computers? They should be made to pay restitution for every penny people spend to get rid of their unwanted garbage. It's vandalism and should be treated as such. GRRRR!

This site was made the default site for whenever I open a new Firefox tab. I had accidentally installed it with a free screensaver I downloaded, but even after I had uninstalled and removed EVERY program from my Firefox and computer system pertaining to this software, this still remained my default site whenever I opened a tab. Very aggravating and hard to get rid of. Stay away from anything pertaining to Sweetpacks!
