While dowloading an update for a program, several other programs seem to have been downloaded as well. How do I remove them from my computer or Firefox?

I have re-set Google as my search engine and home page, but "MySearchDial" is pre-written in the Google search bar when I open the Google homepage. This was one of the programs which was downloaded in addition to my selectred update.

It’s very sad, but many of the software down-loaders / installers will trick you into installing not only their program, but other programs as well. You have heard of the fine print in shady contracts, right? Well, some installers you need to look at the itsy bitsy teeny weeny fine print. You are thinking you are giving the installer permission to install the program you want by using the recommended option. But if you use the Manual Option Instead, you discover all kinds of stuff that you do not even know what it is or what it does. From now on, everyone needs to Use The Manual Option to put a stop to this.
