i think this might be some kind of worm or something since i didn't install it. i use firefox and opera web browsers latest versions,and this yoog search engine replaced the google search engine in both browsers or any other search engine i assing as default.in firefox it creates/edits files USER.js and PREFS.js and Yoog Search.xml and in opera it edits the search.ini file.i deleted the files i uninstalled the browsers and installed againthe damn thing stays there no matter what i do.spyware doctor says everything is ok.don't know what else to do.So if any of you can help me with this i would really appreciate.
user.js : user_pref("browser.search.selectedEngine", "Yoog Search");
user_pref("keyword.URL", "http://www10.yoog.com/search.php?q=");
user_pref("keyword.enabled", true);
