Go to your browser and set it to your preferred search engine.
Then check ALL your browser settings. I mean ALL.
Wherever you see Blekko remove it, could be 3 or 4 settings.
If its still there then youve missed a setting somewhere.
Check again.
Step 4
AVOID Cnet and Blekko LIKE THE PLAGUE
and put them on your blacklist.
I positively hate it when people are installing all kinds of unasked garbage on my computer. Ive wasted an hour to figure it all out and to get rid of it.
An hour I could have spent more productively.
$%*&*$@ Cnet and Blekko.
