You have adware/spyware. FAQ

whats the best best best thing to resolve this mess

 

[MedNez]

Download and scan with Adaware.

Sometimes these adwares provide a genuine uninstaller - otherwise give the tools in the FAQ a try. Start with Ad-aware (easy to use) and see if it helps.

ooo i also 100% recommend Ad-aware by Lavasoft, brilliant software.

 

[bitchgirl]

why im downloading Ad-aware by Lavasoft
would it remove that search engine off my computer?

 

[Casmira]

yes ad-aware scans your computer for spyware such as the search bar, and removes it, the search requires while and removal is relatively fast, reboot after the removal to ensure its gone

 

[bitchgirl]

i tried to download it, but this what popped up on my screen

 

[Casmira]

err thats not a good thing

your download didnt complete well, try to redownload (delete initial downloaded) from a different mirror source on the site, or your hdd is corrupting, i hope not the latter

 

[king_of_boredom]

woah shit. hmmm. never seen that before.

make sure you download ad-aware from there^

spybot is free, you can download it here;

spybot tends to get rid of the much deeper spyware, adaware is a surface cleaner

i had that same search bar, the best thing to do to remove it is..usually in add and remove programs u will find the option to remove the thing (usuall rnd a couple of MB)remove it and delete all files with that search bar name in program files and then use the Ad- aware program or spy-bot to find and erase the spyware, restart your comp and have a gud firewall to block all unnecessary popups when surfing the net...i use zonealarm...and that should be it (hopefully)
