I need help with my Internet Explorer.. There must have
been a porn site or some kind of pop up ad that has taken
over my search engines.. When I type Yahoo.com or
Google.com another site comes up and I can't use anything
else.. " TheBestSE.com " Is what it's called and It's
tickin' me off that I can't use Google.com anymore..
Please help!!

Sincerely,
Friend in need

First eliminate any scumware.
See
Dealing with Unwanted Spyware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.
CWShredder is also available here:

Alternative download pages for Ad-Aware, Spybot, HijackThis and CWShredder
may be found on this page:

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.

you get from porn sites,should try less intrusive sites
like www.89.com (free and there against links loading

Maybe go here if you can
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html
and then go to the bottom of downloads page to official
downloads and get CWShredder. Installing and running this
small utility will probably repair your IE problems. I
will check back to see if it did. All I can say is I had
similar problems as you describe here and this utility did
the trick for me. I also run updated versions of Ad-Aware,
Ad-Watch, and Trend Micro's pc cillin on a regular basis
to keep my pc clean as I can. Good luck
