FunMoods toolbar gives no or little satisfaction to its users, but a profound desire to get rid of FunMoods browser extension is in place.
The browser add-on was originally associated with Internet Explorer only. Even though a victim uninstall the toolbar through Control Panel and changing browser settings, the problem persists until ultimate treatment is applied.
Furthermore, the issue had been mistakenly identified to target only Internet Explorer users as other browsers have proved to be equally unprotected and are subjected to the same intrusions.
The toolbar is but a part of the problem as occasional but inevitable redirects in the course of browser search leading to the toolbar related website burden users even more.
Removal of FunMoods is available with free scanner to be downloaded and installed here. The remover will root out the toolbar by exterminating every object related to its installation as well as related redirects.

how do I know I can trust this product
Assuming you all using Firefox, click tools -> addons -> extensions. you will see uninstall options from there!
thank you that really helped :)
@stunz0rz your quick easy advice worked like a charm. do you have any suggestions for Chrome? Safari? (also thanks for not pimping more spy ware to remove existing spyware--freakin idiots!) thanks again
I will never, ever use Windows again.
What a pile of sh1t that it can't protect against this type of crap.
Absolutely pathetic.
So easy this way---its been a pain in the proverbial for ages--Thanks

Thank you for the info about removing this crap - I have been trying to find and remove this nightmare for a few days - got malwarebytes but there are still trojans hiding everywhere - I will probably have to build a computer and donate this one - its pretty new.
Anyway I just wanted to say thank you and I agree, Microsoft is crap and they are in bed with the government - Gates makes obnoxious speeches about eugenics (on YouTube) - why does he think he should have a damn thing to say about who lives and who dies? These screwball people are really nuts - consumers should unite, stop buying things to show our power, vote everyone out of office or we are cooked. We need a leader! You are elected, Anonymous. VOTE RON PAUL
I had same problem. Even after removing this application by uninstalling it from the uninstall programs then removing it from the 'add ons' the search engine was still funmoods. Assuming people are using firefox, go to 'Tools' then 'Options'. Then go to the 'homepage' area and select the restore to default.
Thanks a lot stuntz0rZ...it worked! :))
what if u use adobe
I just did this. I think I have IE7? I'm not a techie.
I went to "Tools"
Then "Manage add ons"
"Search Providers"
Change the Default to the provider you prefer.
Click on Funmoods and then you will be able to delete it.
If you don't set another default first, it will not highlight the button to disable.

How do i remove funmodes on Google Chrome ??. I unistalled and the bar still is on the internet page :@
To fix Funmoods problem on Google Chrome for Windows 7, first go to the google wrench (customize and Google Chrome), then go to Setttigs, Change the Homepage to http://www.google.com/, make sure that on the "On Startup " the "Open the home page is checked". Make sure also that Google is i set as the delault "Search" engine and the "Default" browser.
To fix Mozilla Firefox , First go to Tools, then go to Start Browsing, open "Options", then go to Homepage and hit Restore Default or" Mozilla Firefox Start Page". Make sure also that When Firefox Starts it will show "Show My Home Page". The procedure would also be the same if you have Windows XP
I hope this helps and perhaps.

@stuntz0rZ i did that long time ago but it's still there!
hey everyone
at the end, all you have to do is
go to tools, then adds on and then you find the funmoods and you delete it and restart your computer
good luck!!
i ve been quite angry and frustrated myself with that programme that kept poping up.should be ilegal.
thank you stuntz0rZ
I was struggling to take that crap away
and it seems to have worked in that way!!!
Thaxxxxxs ΛΙΑΚΑΔΑ the link you gave was very useful to get rid of FunMoods. Simple, easy, no need to install anything else.
fun moods yeah for sure - not so fun - their method has me hating them and totally against them forever as i have to spend un-neccesary time to get rid of their rubbish - if they gave a choice maybe they would get a chance but deliberately pissing you off and making it very hard to remove makes me not feel a fun mood at all - angry web user for this abuse from them of my machine...fun moods - rethink your marketing strategy cause right now it is rubbish!
hello im using google chrome any help
Thanks for all your comments. However, I still have a problem. I have managed to uninstall funmoods via Control Panel and Tools, but I am not able to set Google (for example) as my home page. Even though I have entered all the necessary details via the Control Panel, whenever I start Firefox - funmoods comes up! Not fun at all!! Please help. Really frustrated.
thank you so much apulido911. Your info solved my problem.
Thanks a lot ΛΙΑΚΑΔΑ for the video tutorial. it was great help
thanks I finally got rid of that crap. I went to the google wrench and settings and eliminated it through manage search engines. I had uninstalled it but it kept coming up because it writes itself into the search engine in google chrome.
Change your default browser. I search with Bing. Funmoods somehow became my default browser. I changed my default browser, and my computer stopped acting funny. It also worked fast again.
Firefox Fix
I tried lots of stuff, but what worked was:
(1) Go to Tools add-ons then choose extensions and remove
(2) Go to Windows Control Panel and choose Uninstall a Program and then uninstall Funmoods and restart Firefox
(3) Funmoods though is still the default Home page so go to Tools, Options, General and then paste in your favourite (NON FUNMOODS) url. Restart Firefox - you should be fixed.
Thanks Stuntz! I got the Badmoods toolbar from trying to stop a VLC app installation even though I checked no. The add and or remove programs did not work either but this did. Thanks
Thanks Stuntz! I finally was able to remove the badmood from my computer.
for Crome you click the wrench next to the address bar > tools > extensions > click the trash can next to the enabled option. I'm really glad i read the comments before installing that link.
stuntz0rz
Thank you that was to easy I feal really stupid now.
anyone thinking of downloading this just read stuntz0rz's post.
If your operating system is Windows 7, & you are using Firefox, then press the 'Alt' key so that the menu bar with File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help appears at top of page on left hand side; then you can follow what stuntz0rZ said...
"Assuming you all using Firefox, click tools -> addons -> extensions. you will see uninstall options from there!"
It worked for me - thanks!!
If your using Firefox go to add on management. Look for the tools cog over on the right. Click that and in 1 of the option is a list with funmoods in it and the option to delete

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
YOUR ADVICE WAS BRILLIANT!
FUNMOODS TOOLBAR SUCKS!
thanks it works!!
thanks, it works!!!
to remove as your browser on the top right... click on the dropdown in the browser> manage search engines. in there you will find one called "search" with a magnifying glass icon, click on that, select "remove" and "ok." if you've done that, restored FF to it's original settings and removed it from your extensions, it is truly gone.
Thank you SOOO much!! Your download and uninstall was 100% perfect! Before I used your software, I tried disabling, deleting etc...from my extensions but still had the funmood search window and it kept opening as a homepage. You have made me a very happy lady and it was done with VERY simple ease!!
I have tried everything suggested here and a few things suggested by other tech geeks, and nothing works.. Funmoods has been removed from search engine option management,from control panel/programs,from start-up, from Firefox add-ons, from Firefox extensions..I've run Malware, Spyware, spybot, autologics, and a host of other scanners...it can't be found, yet when I go to google on firefox, funmoods hijacks the results (and their results are sub-ferior!) How do I get rid of this for good??
I FIGURED IT OUT!!!! GO TO TOP RIGHT CORNER OF SCREEN TO THE WRENCH ICON. CLICK IT AND GO TO TOOLS THEN EXTENSIONS. THERE YOU WILL FIND FUNMOODS AND FUNDIAL. YOU HAVE THE OPTION OF DISABLE OR THE TRASHCAN!!!

@stunz0rz Thank you very much! That was all I needed to do to get my Firefox back!
Use the free download version of Malwarebytes Anti Malware from CNET or other secure servers. Run a full scan only and it will remove Funmoods. It worked perfect for me!
I found this work for chrome:
1. Go to the wrench icon at the top right corner.
2. Click "extensions" and disable then delete
3. Next, click on "settings"
4. Find "manage search engines" - here you have the options to select a default search engine (google). You also have the option to delete funmoods which in my opinion is anything but fun.
Good luck!
Thanks stuntz0rZ your advise worked and I rid myself of annoying funmoods. I will be more careful when downloading.
Im using IE and the i cant get rid of funmoods bc the remove button is greyed out and i dont see it under programs on control panel when i go there to uninstall it anyone know how to get rid of this stupid crap ?
“FunMoods” browser extension toolbar support for any browsers Helper Object like: IE, firefox and Google chrome.

Instructions on how to remove Funmoods in Internet Explorer 9 and Firefox and Google Chrome.
For Internet Explorer 9:
1. With IE9 open, click on the Cog Wheel on your Toolbar to open it up. This is your "Tools" icon.
2. Click on "Internet Options" and let it open.
3. Under the "General" tab, click on the button for the "Search" that has the magnifying glass as a logo. It is labeled "Settings." This will open up the "Manage Add-Ons" box.
4. In "Manage Add-Ons" click on "Search Providers" then click on "Funmoods" in the box.
5. Make sure the radio buttons are checked for "Prevent Programs from suggesting changes to my default search provider" and "Search in the address bar."

Optional instructions it exists in "Toolbars and Extensions."
8. Click on "Funmoods" in the box to highlight it.
9. With extreme prejudice and satisfaction click the "Disable" button and enjoy the experience of getting rid of this piece of garbage.

2. Click on "Settings."
3. Under the heading 'Search," click on "Manage Search Engines" to open it up.
4. Under the box "Default Search Settings" highlight "Funmoods" it should have itself listed as the "Default" in parentheses, and then right mouse click on it.

If it is then follow these instructions.

If you're using Chrome it's very east to remove Funmoods and you don't need the "uninstaller". Simply go to the Customize wrench, then Tools, and Extensions. Funmoods will be right there as an option. You can click the trash can and delete it for good!
FINALLY got rid of this pain in the butt thing. This piggyback on a download AFTER I said no to it. NOT COOL.
Chrome...click on the little wrench logo top right corner.
Then click on tools.
Then click on extensions.
You will see that annoying little thing pop up on the list.
Click remove - the trashcan
and GOOD RIDDENS!!!
I have tried all of these suggestions it is still my search engine. I cannot find it anywhere in my computer except in the internet settings under add ons. It is disabled but it is still working.
I was plagued by funmoods for days until I did all the things in safe mode as the devil cannot replicate itself in safe mode while you are deleting it.
In Windows Vista, restart in Safe Mode; then:
System Properties;
Advanced;
Performance Options;
Turn on the DEP {Data Execution Prevention).
Internet Properties;
Settings;
uncheck Enable 3rd Party Extensions
I also unchecked "allow remote assistance" If I ever need that, the helpline person can tell me how to reset it!
I did all of these while trailing through the system stuff in safe mode and deleting funmoods wherever I found it. I don't know which one worked, or if all were required. All I know is I am now funmoods free. It was added to my system when downloading a free video conversion software.
1. Remove folder C:\Documents and Settings\Rakesh\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\extensions\extensions\staged\ffxtlbr@funmoods.com
2. Remove folder C:\Documents and Settings\Rakesh\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\jpon6xmp.default\extensions\ffxtlbr@funmoods.com
3. Go to file C:\Documents and Settings\Rakesh\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\extensions\user.js file and DELETE all lines that starts with 'user_pref("extensions.funmoods'.

****DEFINITIVE REMOVAL ******
i had problems with funmoods for a week trying to uninstall it in google chrome, firefox, and internet explorer....FACT, it keeps coming back because it alters registry values...no amount of messing about with add ons, extensions etc will work....
the simplest thing to do is install MALWAREBYTES free malware software (do a search, not hard to find)
then close your internet connection. run it. it will find about 10 funmoods malware registry values etc....delete them all....just for good measure reinstall google chrome or whatever browser you were using......JOB DONE....if anyone knows where funmoods works from do us all a big favour and send them a lot of complaints in various stinky, slimy forms....

This worked! Thank you!!!
You can remove FunMoods (not so fun, really) in Chrome by going to the "wrench", choosing Settings, choosing Manage search engines, and then finding FunMoods and deleting it there. This worked for me after uninstalling a number of downloaded programs to which it might have been attributed (including a pdf viewer).
Good luck.
No idea where mine came from. Using IE9 at moment and have followed all instructions mentioned for removal, without success. Am now downloading Stopzilla as mentioned in the OP to see if that works. Sometimes use Chrome but haven't checked there yet.
No idea where mine came from, but following all instructions so far for removal from IE9 hasn't worked - all settings are as per suggestions, but it's still coming up as the search engine if I open a new tab. Am now downloading the Stopzilla program mentioned in the OP.
Following this advice I managed to remove the spyware from my PC. The goolge chrome one was a bit tricky but as mentioned on one of the post earlier on, you need to also set the homepage to google.
Thanks for the tip.
i use internet explorer how the fuCK do i uninstall it
Chrome Settings -> Search -> Manage Search Engines -> Default Search Settings and set google as default and delete funmoods
Chrome Settings -> Search -> Manage search engines... -> Default search settings
select google as default and delete funmoods.
www.freakzion.com forever :)
so i went into google chrome and supposidly "unistalled" the funmoods thing but it still comes up when i hit google chrome...i even reinstalled it and it still came up.
If funmoods hacked you on google chrome, just go into tools>extensions>then unable funmoods and click the little garbage can. Well you're at it, you can also delete other malware the same way, if you have any.
