Cnet bundling virus with Kitty

I downloaded kitty from cnet and got as a bonus a blekko search engine that takes over all my browsersswithout permission. It is very hard to remove.

I don't know.
Please ask CNET.
But I assume CNET is a to much serious firm to add a virus like that.
But if it is confirmed, let me know. I'll remove the link to their web site.

Thanks for the reply. I thought CNet was above such things. But apparently not.

See the link http://forums.cnet.com/7723-10152_102-565822/blekko-why/
or just do a search for blekko and CNET

Please remove the link to CNET. It just spoils your name and the wonderful work you are doing. Actually it undermines ssh because it is a Trojan providing backdoor access to adware.
Or if you have a computer for such purposes, try dowloading it yourself
Thanks again for the wonderful work.
