Crawler is part of one of the spyware apps you're running on your system 
(probably Spyware Terminator).  It's designed to protect you from phishing 
sites and drive by malware, but also changes your homepage and default 
search engine.  Personally, I don't like toolbars that watch what I do and 
where I go, so I don't install them.

Peace,
