I am technologically handicapped. When I search from the
address bar in MIE 6.0 -- the MSN Search engine was always
used (I guess it was the "default" if that's the right
term). Now, when I search from the address bar, I am
getting some BS search engine. I haven't made any changes,
etc. HELP HELP HELP !!! How do I get me search
page/default back? I already restored my settings --
didn't work. Thank you.

Hi,
This is probably being caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite)

Work through the solutions (CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot) at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that
page.
