Hi Guys,

I keep getting the Lycos SideSearch popping up constantly
in my browser.

I never gave permission for the "tool" to be installed in
my computer... it was installed covertly, possibly one of
those 30sec web site loading pauses.

I have approached Lycos and have heard nothing, so I was
wondering if anyone else has experiences this problem and
has a decent solution.

The standard removal instructions don't work as they
assume that their product was installed legitimately.


Regards Charles
 
Sorry to jump on your thread, but I too can't get rid of
this flippin thing. My system is up to date up to the
friggin minute and I can't remove this crap. I also was
hit with ALT WIN, URL DISPLAY, and some other garbage
that was in my Add/Remove Programs applet. What security
hole has not been patched yet to keep this stuff out. I
use a company computer and am NOT surfing any sketchy
sites. Hitting something like Expedia is what probably
did this. I too am looking for an answer...thanks!
