Everyone has been doing the removal ok it seems. Simply go to add/remove, and nuke it out. The problem with it "remaining" isn`t as a search engine, though on IE it will show when you highlight your searchers.

The thing is, this is just a program, not a vodoo princess some are making it out to be. When it installs it goes and changes your "HOME PAGE" line, so every time you open your browser it`s still is there, until you change it. For whatever browser you have you simply need to go in and remove that info, replace it with BLANK if you want or www.google.com if you are me. Search engines are pretty dull, they just keep going to wherever you point them. Blekko points it to Blekko, just change it. If it mysteriously comes back in 6 months, I`ll bet it does right after you DL another program from a crappy site, and that program has Blekko on it. Pay attention to what you are clicking when you DL, some stuff just isn`t worth the mess they want you to take with it.

Have a toasty day tomorrow, sunscreen, fluids, all that stuff, and remember to smile a lot.
