A couple of days ago, I finally gave in and downloaded the newest version of Yahoo Messenger. Unfortunately, I didn't expect other things to come along with it. . .

Now, whenever I open up a new window, a little sidebar for the Lycos search engine pops up and shows results for related sites I was never looking for to begin with. Outside of that, the damn thing will create makeshift links from certain words on any page (as an example, the word "ambidextrous" in the poll on my Lefty vs. Righty thread was made into one of these links).

I want it gone and dead. DEAD, I SAY. Any suggestions?
