A search engine has been installed on my computer without my permission. I can't find any way to uninstall it nor can I find it's source. I believe it is what is blanking out my home page as well as causing problems with several other applications. Bellsouth (my provider) has offered several suggestions, but none has helped. If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
