Default Ashampoo, Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

OK,this afternoon Ashampoo offered me version 6 free, so I updated.

Now it's set itself as the homepage, and I CAN'T GET IT BACK TO GOOGLE!

I've been into Start>Control Panel>Internet Options, and typed Google in as homepage, clicked apply and NOTHING HAPPENS!

I've even deleted Ashampoo off the computer, but it's STILL there as homepage.

Help,please, somebody.

Sorted it.

Went onto Firefox help.

A suggestion was to navigate to wherever you wanted to be your homepage, click on the icon just to the left of it, then drag and drop it onto the homepage button.
Tried it, it asked if that was what I wanted to do, clicked OK and all would seem to be well.

Thanks for the input.
