Address bar search

[Mrplowca]

I am having a problem with the search in my address bar .
This is happening on both my friend's computer as well as
my moms . The problem is that the search used to be msn
search whenever i typed anything into the address bar but
now it comes up with an error and fills with % and such .
I have used the spyware programs described in other
messages but this has not seemed to work even after
deleting the problem spyware programs . do i have to
reinstall ie ?

First eliminate any scumware.

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

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

I've tried to remove the spyware with the programs without
any success. I've used the Ad-Aware and there was still
the same problem
