IE 6 SP2 Win XP hijacked - can't seem to fix

I went to Garth Brooks' website of all places and my IE was hijacked. I've
run Webroot Spy Sweeper and it found Look2Me adware and a few other things
running afterwards. I removed Look2Me manually and my problems stopped with
the exception of my searches from the address bar.
When I type in a word to search sites, I get no search results but, instead,
am taken to a website - ususally one where I can buy plane tickets or whatnot.
I have customized my searches to display results, checked my registry for
missing/alien files and did all the things other people were told in this
forum and can't seem to fix the problem.
Is there anyone out there that knows how to get rid of this demon?

HiJack This is a program that simply searches for programs that run at
boot time, and checks for browser plug-ins. The results this program
gives you are generally just informative. Most of the programs it will
come up with are valid programs that you actually want running. You'll
have to go through the results and tell the program to delete unwanted
programs. If you can't figure out what some of the programs are, don't
just delete them, research them and/or post them so experts can let
you know what the program does. Just type the program name into google
which gets a decent answer pretty quickly.
