address bar search

[Stephen]

My address bar search has suddenly defaulted to "sir
search" and despite changing under settings and using
regedit it seems impossible to change back to MSN. I have
spent hours trying to resolve the issue and seem unable
to.
Any suggestions?

 

[Joanna]

This is exactly my problem!!

I hope we both figure it out and get rid of that Search
thing!!

Stephen,
sirsearch is a well known parasite from: "eUniverse".
This usually comes bundled with several other parasites as well.
