Genieo removal

[macT50]

I'm trying to get rid of the genieo browser page that pops up when I type in a subject to search.
I have followed the directions to remove it, and do not have it as my home page, but it still pops up when I do a search. How do I get rid of it completely?

The 2nd one will lead you to a link to properly uninstall it.
You should probably do that one first.

The first link provides details on correcting the search engine - to be used only after being properly uninstalled.
