Ask Jeeves has taken over my search engine!

[Danielle]

I am running IE 6.0 on Windows ME. For some reason, Ask
Jeeves is now running all of my searches for me. I have
tried changing my search engine using the Customize tab in
the Search window, to no avail. Every time I perform a
search, it lists only links and websites that are
SPONSORED by Ask Jeeves...ARGH!

Use HiJack This! to find the culprit and delete it for good. Then use Pest
Patrol, AdAware and/or SpyBot Search and Destroy to help keep your machine
clean.
