Address Bar Restore

[Ann]

I had visited a certain website and a pop up window came
out asking if I wanted to download "the dotcomtool"
website and I closed because I didn't want it. Then one
day I was going to search on somethings about "headache"
from the Search Address Bar and when I typed in "headache"
the normal auto search was a different one, I looked up
the first address and it had that dotcomtool address and
that is the only play where I can search for something
that I need from the internet now. Please help me, I do I
get back my auto search. I hate this dotcom search thing
that is permanently on my search address bar

Take a read through Jim Eshelman's page on parasites of this nature
http://aumha.org/win5/a/parasite.htm

You might want to download Ad-Aware and run it to rid your self of the
parasite you have http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/ Also download and
install Spyware Blaster to prevent this from happening again
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

Just as with Antivirus software you must ensure that you keep the
definitions up-to-date for the above two excellent tools!
