I have not installed anything in the past month, other than windows updates and virus
definitions.
I checked the control panel add/remove to see if there was anything that was intalled
and there was nothing.
I also noticed that on my firefox browser instead of google being my default search
engine now its "yoog search"
dont know if that helps.
thanks for the help
