Google window popped up warning that I was setting the defualt search engine to Yahoo.?

I updated my Yahoo toolbar and then clicked OK to confirm to set the default to Yahoo. It was already set to Yahoo, so I didn't bother to click off of it. The strange thing was that after I clicked OK, a Google icon popped up in my taskbar warning me that a program was attempting to change my default search engine. I do not have any Google programs loaded, so why is this message there? I have heard of the concerns of Google's invasion of privacy, so I assume this is another attempt. How can I find and delete all traces off Google?

It sounds like you inadvertently had a Google application installed on your system. Probably by accident more than anything.


It's Google's way of trying to get you to use their homepage. If it were the other way around, you trying to use Google, you'd probably get a Yahoo pop up telling you the same thing.





Just use your add/delete feature in control panel, or do a search and delete from there any Google applications you don't want.





Other than that, it's all fairly harmless stuff.
Reply:i actually prefer the google to yahoo toolbar.


i find that alot of these: google, yahoo, aim and more


have toolbars that automatically install themselves even when you click no. sometimes they don't even ask


so i do an uninstall to the toolbar from settings. nobody installs stuff on my comp w/o my express clicked consent !


go to start %26gt;%26gt; control panel %26gt;%26gt; add or remove programs


choose the bugger and remove !
Reply:Try going to Start%26gt; Control Panel%26gt; Add/Remove Programmes then go down to G just to check if there are any google applications, if there are any, click on delete and delete them. It is just a guess!
