I not sure who should get this post .so i'll try here .i
have juno .com for anisp and in the past few week they
have been loading a new search engine on the start page
for users to use . But afew days ago it started taking
control of my Internet explorer and redirects all
searches from msn to yahoo .now i understand they have a
new search engine as an option if you want use it but
this isp has elected to hijack my msn search engine and
replace it with junos yahoo.it one thing to give an
option it's another to just force user to use it i'm sick
of it and to boot it is loading all kinds of malware on
my pc. i want to know is this legal to do and why has the
option to choose been taken away from the user of this
site.I see this as plain and simple piracy of the rite to
choose.And i'll go even on more step microsoft should put
a stop to this asap if i type in go to windows update it
redirects me to yahoo and tell me no site can be found
for windows update. Last time i looked at the stockmarket
microsoft was still listed so what's the deal here i even
have a screen shot to prove it.If i let them get away
with this then next thing i know i'll have hacker and
viruses loading deniel of svc. as standard programs on my
os .thanks to anyone that reads this and directs it to
the propper dept. for review.
