I use google as a search engine. Somehow another search engine got downloaded and installed on my computer and now when I do a google search I get a side windo opening up with other search results. It says it was installed with a "scratch card' program but I deleted it. I can't find the unwanted search enging in my add/remove programs.

1 go to search and type the name of the program or the full name including the extension.

(extension comes after the period of the name of the program like .com on webpages)

2 click the search button that is found under your START, PROGRAMS MENU.

3 on the right of the screen the results will appear

4 just right click the folder and delete it

5 make sure that u delete everything that is related to that file ONLY
