I've just noticed that the 'sign up now' for their advertising doesnt work using Chrome. mmm.

Why am i'm not surprised....I was working on an article today when i noticed a sudden increase in HDD activity. And oooops, surprise surprise...a google quick search bar has suddenly appeared on my "quick launch" bar next to windows start button (W-T-F).

Something i have never installed before, or asked to be installed. All i have on this machine is the Google browser bar and google maps (since like ages ago). How come all of a sudden (and out of the blue) this thing suddenly pops out and installs itself without asking for my permission is beyond me....the hozpa!

I'm now in the process of removing anything google from this system...thanks but no thanks. It looks like the guys at the plex are really worried since bing is around...having to resort to such low life tactics speaks a thousand words.

Did this happen to anyone else by any chance today ?

BTW, good on ya Microsoft! I'm impressed with bing and mention it to everyone i know, with much pleasure.
