Hi, My name is John, and I'm a member of the Searchqu Support Team. I'm here to help :) When iLivid installs onto your pc it offered two basic installs, typical installation, which lists the add-on features such as searchqu default search, and Custom installation, which allows you to select the add-ons that you wish to install. There's no need to worry if you did the typical install - this isn't a virus, nor malware, and there's no need to Perform a virus scan against it. Since Searchqu is an addon feature of iLivid, there's no need to uninstall iLivid http://www.iLivid.com, the iLivid Download Manager will work just fine without it :-)

If you prefer to change your default search engine please check: http://www.ilivid.com/faq.htm#8 Please look for the paragraph saying “I would like to keep iLivid, but change my default search engine” you can also check: http://bit.ly/searchqutoolbar , it will give you visual explanation on how to change searchqu as your default search engine. We are here to answer to any further questions :)
