TOT - DuckDuckGo malware?

[Another Dave]

I've been using the DuckDuckGo search engine as it was recommended for its privacy policy. Recently it's been behaving suspiciously (pop-up windows appearing, unasked for toolbars etc). I Googled and found that it has become classed as malware at the very least. Google "duckduckgo virus" to see what I mean. I've removed it (I hope!) but you must make your own decision. Shame.

Unfortunately there are hackers everywhere. What about startpage? Brian

Try IXQuick?

I've had it as one of the search engine options in my Firefox search box but I've used it only occasionally. That's about to change. Thanks.

Well, they would say that, wouldn't they?

You'll probably be aware that there's a whole raft of settings you can use on ixquick, saved either as a cookie or a website url (if you don't like cookies) so it runs the same for you each time. It's the only search engine I use.
