["Damon" <damon.rose@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

yes! It was Google Dkestop! I didn't realise it had a search facility like 
that, it certainly wasn't there until the last few weeks and I didn't check 
any boxes or anything. Could it have been an autoupdate of some kind? I've 
got rid of Google Desktop as I couldn't be bothered to find out how to get 
rid of the search box.

cheers
