Lycos Search stuck in Browser

[Kim]

Does anybody know how to get rid of the Lycos search
engine appearing in my browser everytime I open it? It
has "conveniently" made itself my default search engine,
and I don't particularly care for them. Help please

Lycos (side search) is now bundled with several other parasites [ugh!]
