This program seems to have taken over firefox and comes up as the default screen when i open a new tab even though i have my home page set to something legitimate.
When I go to control panel - add remove programs and click on this program (search.us.com). It comes up with a message that says 'Do you want to allow the following program to make changes on this computer' and it lists the details of the program i want to remove.
This is confusing as it gives the impression the unwanted program is about to take over my computer. Am i misguided here? Is this a windows message that is extremely poorly written saying it is about to uninstall the program? Or is this something malicious? Any help would be very much appreciated.
