That's not an infection

That's AOL being the annoying program that it is. Trust me, I had the same exact problem and posted my question in a support forum.

They gave me a bad answer but I figured it out on my own. You have to change it somewhere in "about:config" and change it to this value:

"Google"

If you have not worked with advanced Firefox panel before, goto your address bar and type in: "about:config". After doing so type in something like, "browser.search" and some values will come up. If you find anything with AOL and search together, change it to the above Google line to change it to default Google searching.

I hope that helps.
