I t turns out that the HSRD that appears in my address bar was not malware.
I had noticed the hsrd/yahoo/ whatever flashing up on my address bar and thought it was a malware or virus.
Actually, I have since found out that I am being monitored by those thoughtful people in Washington D.C.
The address of www.hsrd is the monitoring service that the Government operates. Guess they think I am a threat to them. they did say that they were not going to monitor any Americans. Hope I haven't lost my citizenship.

You can verify this by going to www.ask.com and asking what the HSRD website is. They will give you their complete address.
