Sorry.
But anyway it is an undersized settings it imposes on you and the only way
to get rid off it is to uninstall the screensaver. You may change the
default page and it resets automatically to sogou. In my opinion, it
trespass the user's choice.

Hello Leo,

It's not a trojan. What happened was that you installed the ubuntukylin
screensaver flavor and it by default sets sogou.com page that is kind a
google page for China. It's a perfectly normal behaviour.
