IE works perfectly fine except for searching in any
internet search engine. If I search, it sits for awhile
and then just brings up sponsors. Then I can't close the
window. I re-installed and have the same problem.
This didn't happen yesterday and I haven't changed anything.
any ideas?

Install either but both are not necessary, reboot, read FAQ and overview, use
online update feature to obtain the latest reference files, scan for Spyware
much like you would with your pre-installed anti-virus scanner.
Rid your machine of unwanted Spyware pests.
