Unwanted Searchbar in IE

D

DE

I have this unwanted searchbar in IE I can't get rid of. I believe it is
constantly trying to change my default home page.
It uses 66.220.17.154. Attached is a screenshot of the searchbar and the
results of a search.

How come MS antispyware can't get rid of it and how do I get rid of it ?

Thanks

Hi,
No single malware removal program will remove everything.

Download and run CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot (in that order.)
See: http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
Also note the security tips and other important information on that page.

If unsuccessful with those programs, you may have to post a HijackThis log
