ICQ 7 Messenger Malware-Like Behavior

I have been a user of the ICQ instant messenger for many years now.  It was one of the very first instant messengers, and I was one of it’s early users.  I never have seen the need to switch to anything else, especially since I almost never use instant messaging at all.  Now a recent experience with ICQ has left me wondering if the whole project has been taken over by Russian hackers. I installed the latest version of ICQ to communicate with people on a particular project, then uninstalled it when the project was over.  ICQ when installed, hijacked my search provider, and “enhanced” it with it’s own “ICQ search”.  Even after uninstalling the product, it left it’s hijacked version of my browser, and no matter how many times I delete it from my search providers, ICQ Search keeps coming back again
