Browser Also Hijacked

[Guest]

My browser was hijacked like J Major's post below. (Thanks
KaZaA). I have removed the offending software. However,
the search field that was placed on the toolbar by the
spyware still appears by default when IE6 is opened. How
do I get back control of the default appearance of IE6?
Thanks.

Great information there. The various links led me to a
utility that restored the defaults in the browser.
Thanks, Mike!
