Lycos has taken over

[mike]

Lycos has taken over as my search engine when I use
Internet explorer. It creates it's own shortcut and
appears in the browser bar when I try to search for
anything. I have deleted every file containing Lycos, but
it still rears it's very ugly head. How do it kill it?

The actual Spyware Pest is called "Lycos sidesearch"

Download and run "Hijack This" - info and download:
