    Meep was a disaster – it installed a search engine that wiped out my home page and was pretty difficult to remove. Plus it kept reinstalling until I uninstalled Meep. No fan of Meep here.

      Which browser were you using it with? It works only on FF and IE.
      I just re-installed it and it works fine with IE.

    Working with FF. Meep works fine but the extra adware and search engine is horrible!
