The google search on the navigation toolbar redirects to the website http://search.fast-find.net/ every time I try to use it.

Hello!

It seems that if you click on the Search Engine Icon drop down (top right) and select Manage Search Engines: >> SIngle Click Fast Browser Search then click Remove, you should be all set!

Let me know how this works!

Thanks!  :)

It didn't work. On Manage Search Engines the only ones there are Yahoo, Ant, Bing, and Google. It seems to be something to do with the Google search engine, I did notice that the icon for it is different from the one from Google.com. When this first started happening it was after this Icon changed.

Hey Slain!

I'm sorry that didn't work. After doing a quick Google search, it appears this problem is caused by a virus/malware issue. Have you scanned your computer with an antivirus program lately? If not, that will be your next step. Additionally, if you have an anti-malware program, this may be able to help you.
