fantastic games was downloaded, now their metacrawler search engine is the default search engine and I cannot get rid of it. I went to settings and uninstalled it, but it still defaults. I have Google set as home page, but if I use the top line to enter searches, it defaults to the fantastic games webcrawler.

I too have this same problem. I installed firefox and got a malware Isearch.fantasticgames.....

Using a addon dissabler is not a solution. It is just hiding the problem. Is there a solution to removing this? I cannot reset the default search engine now. Whether in firefox or IE. Thanks
