Mcci is a software company. Not associated with Verizon, apparently.
Accidently allowed "McciBrowser" access to my computer and have been
experiencing major hangups when signing on and signing off internet sites.
Shut down "McciTrayApp.exe" process and troubles went away. I need an
uninstall that will get rid of the whole program without residual troubles.

Problem solved - Ran CCleaner to wipe the cookies and other items and it took
the Verizon Logo off - looks like it should now. Thanks for the suggestion
to look for "Verizon" in the files.

Do you have a program named:

on your PC.

Also a service named:

I powered up my Toshiba laptop this afternoon and the Verizon logo is now
part of my top bar and in the Windows Search bar. Kinda odd since I'm on
AT&T DSL.
Top Bar: Verizon Online DSL with MSN
Search Bar: Verizon with MSN
I take a dim view of computer hijacking which this seems to be.
1. How did it happen?
2. How do I get it off without wiping the drive and reinstalling with the
Toshiba restore disk?
3. Would there be anything else that may have been changed I haven't seen
yet?

Thank you in advance for any info! RobertETH
