    Strange, every day in the morning I enter something into Google Search and the text is "stolen" (snapped? hijacked?) "disappears" from the search field immediately after I enter it into the search field on Google (completely or the front of the sentence). Sometimes only first letter disappears or does not appear, sometimes the first word, part of the phrase or the whole phrase or sentence that I enter into the Google search field. The second time I enter in there it's ok. Is that some kind of spyware? Has anyone know what it is and how do I remove this from my PC? Also I'd like to identify them and to bring them to justice.

    My PC is Windows XP (Sony Vaio) - (Windows XP is very slow and "thinking"). I use MSIE 6.

    SOS!
