Is "Lycos SideSearch" the search app you are referring to?
If so,
... in other words, FUCK YOU.
Lycos SideSearch is one of the most malicious fucking programs i have ever seen. I have emailed them requesting info on removal and they send me a form letter ... If you have this version installed, do this, if it's this version do this, if it's this version do this, if it's THIS version, then, well, we don't take responsibility for that version, but you can try this.... etc etc etc...
I have lost all respect for that company.
Fuck you.
