does anyone else have the same problem? when i'm surfing the net, the search panel has been changed to www.hotsearchbox.com
also sometimes a search page from the same place will just pop up when you are in the middle of something and cover the whole page! what is really annoying though, is you cant close the page from the top right corner or at the bottom of the screen! once its on there you cant get it off until you shut down. any advice on how to get rid?

Download and run either ad-aware or Spybot Search and Destroy.

When a full screen pop-up appears, you need to press alt-F4 on windows systems to close it down.

Thanks for that, Gates could have made it a bit more obvious!
