anyone come accross this search engine. it installed itself on my computer and seems to act as some kind of itermediary between a requested google search and answer.
it even created a folder for itself in my favourites list.
i have run ad aware to try and find and delete it with no luck nor does a normal search on the computer find it.
it is an absolute nuisance and slows everything down.
any advice on how to find/ delete it would be much appreciated.
