When using igoogle the search result redirects to mysearch.com form any link.  If I use IE I dont get the same problem.  This only happened since the last update to version 3.6.8.  I have done a full virus/adaware clean with results being removed and the problem returns

I have reinstalled 3.6 and the problem has gone away.

Hey guys,

Seems that this fault was due to a Java version that had a security hole.  I did some research and foud this out.  When I reinstalled Firefox the new version of Java was installed and hence the problem went away.

Sorry to be a bother
