Something weird happening with my browsers
Title.
The two browsers I use are Firefox and Google Chrome.
Anywho, about a week ago, I downloaded something (foolishly), and this thing changed the homepage of both browsers to this: http://search.certified-toolbar.com/?si=41460&shortcut=true&tid=2938.
I removed the thing I downloaded (an external downloading program to download things straight from MF), and changed my home pages back to their defaults for both browsers.
Despite this, whenever I open the browser, that same link returns. I've checked the homepage settings for both browsers, and both are set to default, despite the fact that this thing reappears regardless.
Any ideas of how to fix this?

Adware
-Uninstall said programs if you haven't already via control panel.
-Chrome settings (chrome://settings/) > Extensions > Get rid of anything that you know isn't either made by Chrome, or downloaded and installed by you.
-Set the default homepage to New-Tab page (s'what I use, anyway. I find it better than any particular site), or whatever you wish (again, if you haven't already done this).
Try, Start>Control Panel> Add or remove programs> and uninstall all toolbar programs
