    Is there a way to change the Yahoo Search in both the bottom taskbar & in the Browser to say Google? If not change, then remove? Thanks :)

    You can change the IE search box by opening your browser and selecting the down arrow next to the Yahoo search box at the top. Then select "Change Search Defaults". You can change it to Google rather than Yahoo. If Google is not an option, you can select "Find More Providers" and you will get Google as an option that way.

    For the taskbar, I do not know how to change it to Google, but you can remove it by right-clicking the taskbar, hitting Toolbars, and unchecking "HP Advisor".
