You'll have to go into Add/Remove Programs. Go to Settings on your start menu, then select Control Panel. Then open Add/Remove Programs and look for the unwanted program and select remove. \nIf it is one of those viruses, then it will re-install itself. I agree with suggestions for getting a good internet security package. I use Norton.

Try some spyware removal tool, like ad-aware (free) and perfom a full system scan.

You should get a spyware sweeper (Ad-Aware works great), and you should also use a pop-up blocker (I use Google and I'm very happy with it). These are both free products and can be found using any search engine.

Do you mean "how do I get delisted from search rabbit?" Or "something is bringing up search rabbit in a popup?"\n\nMy guess is that you've got some adware. Try Ad-Aware or Yahoo! Toolbar.

Use both Ad-Aware and Spybot: Search and Destroy to clean the machine thoroughly.  Ad-Aware catches things that spybot doesn't get and vice versa.  Also consider getting a copy of CCleaner and Spyware Blaster.  All four programs are free and when used in conjuction efectively block and delete a lot of spyware from your PC.\n\nDownload the programs, install them, update them, and run them.  Also, run them at least once every 2 weeks.  Even if you have the software on your computer, the software is utterly useless unless you run them and update them regularly.\n\nHere are links to all the items I've mentioned:\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html\nhttp://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5\nhttp://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp\nhttp://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

Install an anti-spyware which also has a pop-up blocker.\nI strongly recommend Webroot SpySweeper, http://www.webroot.com/\nIt's cool, not heavy on the system resources, does the job extremely well, very customizable and the best !

The record of search history which appears in the search box on IE! is actually a feature controlled by your browser, not the directory! or any other search engine.\n\nIf you have Internet Explorer as your browser, you may stop the search history from being generated by following the instructions below:\n\n1. Select the the 'Tools' menu in Internet Explorer.\n2. Select 'Internet Options', then select the 'Content' tab.\n3. Under Personal information, click on the 'AutoComplete' box.\n\nOn the AutoComplete Settings window you can click the 'Clear Forms' box to delete your current history, or you can uncheck the Forms box to permanently stop the generation of the search history

ANYTHING to do with 'searching the web' or web searching etc etc is spyware. Typical techniques is to hijack your home page, as well as redirect you to their search page whenever you type in an incorrect URL. \n\nI would get rid of it ASAP.\n\nedit: Please visit http://www.hijackthis.de/ .. download the program from the link there and paste, results in the text box, and click ANALYZE. delete all NASTIES.
