    I see an interesting (irritating :( ) play on my machine. A Google application opens up and says that someone is trying to change the default search engine. I resist the change (I love Google :laugh: ), and feel that I have won the war. A few minutes later, a Yahoo Search Protection screen comes up and says that someone is trying to change the default search engine. And the war goes on...

      How did all this "search protection crap" come into your machine? I've seen no such warning, ever. :confused:

          I use Firefox. I also have IE7 installed on my machine, but has been ages since I opened it.
