Hi.
My son installed Freecorder on my computer hoping he could use it to download vids to his MP3 player. I wasn't keen on having this new toolbar so uninstalled it all...
Or so I thought.
I run Firefox as my browser as that's the one I'm used to - I like to keep things simple. I hate change for change's sake... As part of my normal browsing, I often highlight and right-click a word or phrase to carry out a separate web search on it, and now find "Search Freecorder Cutomized Web Search for 'whatever'" instead of "Google search".
I don't want this new alternative. I didn't ask for it. And I'm finding it very hard to get rid of.
I've looked at toolbar add-ons, extensions, and have also used Vista's program uninstall, looking for anything with 'applian' (and 'conduit', as I've read they might be connected?) or any other unusual applications. Done all that - no difference.
I want my Google back - that's all.
Help, please.
