It is in Firefox and I can't locate http://search.mymapsxp.com any where in my control panel or anywhere in my C; drive for that matter. It seems to be hidden.

Hello Martin. Thank you for the information. Please follow the instructions to remove the add-on from the Firefox browser.

(1). Click on the button at the top right corner to open Menu > Add-ons > Extensions >
(2). Find Search.mymapsxp.com related add-ons and delete them.
Note: it’s better to remove anything you don’t need or trust especially those installed recently.
