Hi all. Just tried to download a program from CNET. AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH. Got this @#$%& awful Blekko thing. Ran my anti virus and anti malware and they advised that all was well, so the infection wasn't too bad. However, when I opened Google the Blekko browser opened up as well. Here's what I did. First, Spanner, settings, manage search engines. Hover over the X at the right of Blekko and delete. This removed it from the list, but it still came up when I opened Google. Next; Spanner, settings, On start up, Open a specific page or set of pages, hover over the X at the right of Blekko and delete. This fixed the problem, but s##t, what a chore. I will be giving CNET a wide berth from now on. Pity.
