Microsoft Search Engine Popup

[Guest]

I keep getting a popup that Microsoft has a new search engine download.

I do not want Microsoft's search engine on my PC.

I get tired of seeing the popup.

How can it be diabled????

I mean, Microsoft, who is supposed to assist us with getting rid of popups
and ad-ware should not be hitting us with popups that we can not disable.

Suggestions????

I am not sure what you mean from your post. The pop-up seems to come at odd
times. I thoiught Microsoft was supposed to protect us from pop-ups, even
their own.

The pop-up from Microsoft is a form of harassment. If you do not want to
load their search toolbar onto your Internet Explorer, then they will keep
sending you the pop-ups about their search engine or new updates to their
search engine.

How can I disable thier pop-ups??? I want to use Google as my search engine.
