WebDiagnosis.com Browser Hijacker Removal Help

I have this WebDiagnosis.com on my Mozilla and it seems hard for me to get it off. I tried a full scan with Norton but no luck to get this thing detected. Though it seems to be a legitimate site it disturbs my normal use of my own computer thus I don’t want it to be there. What can I do to remove or delete it? It cannot be uninstalled since it does not show up on the program list. Nor can I find any process with it. Is there an easy way to get it off?
