Somewhere, somehow, I got a Firefox plug-in called "General Crawler". It is not something I asked for or wanted, but I got stuck with it. It comes from this company.

They have done some sort of trickery so that it cannot be uninstalled. Actually, that is not quite accurate, it can be uninstalled, but if you dig deep enough to find the directory where it resides, you will see it magically re-appear any time you re-start Firefox.

Some research showed me how to truly get rid of it, involving digging pretty deep into the C:\[username]\appdata\... files and a few other places, plus some edits to the system registry. It is gone now, and I am grateful for that.

If you Google for "How to uninstall "General Crawler" Firefox plugin" you will see that this is a fairly new and widespread problem.

Is there anything I can do in the area of revenge against general-crawler.com/? These bastards have no right to stay in business.
