How do I remove Big Snap Search?

joho

For any of you don't venture to the competition area, Microsoft have been running a competition whereby if you use their search engine you could win Virgin vouchers and now Indiana Jones stuff. But I want to get rid of the search engine.

It comes up automatically on a second tab when you start Internet Explorer and I can't find it listed in Remove programs in the control panel. Anyone know how I can get rid of it?

Thank you as always!;)

I've not done it for a while, but this looks familiar:

Thanks phill. Tried that but its not even listed as a search provider when I click the arrow next to the magnifying glass. Google is my default search and Yahoo is also listed. Will keep hunting.

Sorry, I mis-read your post. Sounds like you have 2 home pages:

" It comes up automatically on a second tab when you start Internet Explorer"

In which case, go to Tools - Internet Options - then remove the bigsnapsearch.com address from the box where you set the home page. If you only have 1 in there, only the single page will open.

Hope that is what you were after.
