nuisance browser: GUKCOM or google.uk.com

Indeed. But how do I get rid of it? I've tried to identify it under various 'tools' or 'settings' folders and it does not identitfy itself, just like adware. It's not listed under programs on Control Panel. It is possible that I have typed "google.uk.com" by mistake at some time instead of "google.co.uk". But now that it keeps appearing instead of the basic Google search engine, how can I make it go away? It may not be a browser hijacker but it is certainly proving to be a nuisance, to me at any rate.
Many thanks.

You may have to ask Google to help you with that question.
You never mentioned which browser you're using.

In your browser look for "manage search engines" , it should be a drop down menu in your search box, edit the entries there.

Thanks, I can assure you that GUKCOM does not appear there - that's when I became alarmed that it might be a stealth adware like searchqu_406. I am still basically alarmed that I cannot get rid of it. I am furious at Google for removing their search-cache option and the unwanted appearance of GUKOM as a browser is salt in the wound.
