Internet Explorer search hijacking

[Murray Webb]

I have tested many ways with my computer and this only
effects Internet Explorer. I scan my computer 2 2 anti
spyware and 1 anti virus program and cannot locate a
causes or remove it. Even Zone Alarm does not detect it.

Any Search engine used with only Internet Explorer gets 3
or 4 non standared search items that fill each search
page and window. this causes also the loss of 3 searches
per window aswell.

I got a program that scans Internet Explorer but I don't
understand what it gives me incase it's a plugin that was
inserted into the computer. I will paste the log if
anyone knows what to look for.
