Can't use search engines

[Jastemo]

On some of the accounts on my family computer, Internet
Explorer 6 has developed a peculiar problem. On any
search engine I can enter a term then hit 'enter' or
click 'search', but nothing happens. It first started
happening with any search engine but MSN.com but now it
won't even work there. I can go to any website by typing
the address or clicking on a hotlink. And it doesn't
affect all login accounts. I use Adaware and Spybot S&D
on a regular basis.

That doesn't seem to be the problem. I've searched for
the files related to this trojan. My symptoms aren't like
what they're describing; I can get to any search engine
without any problems. But when I enter a search term and
click on submit - nothing happens. I can go to a site,
like www.hotfiles.com and enter a search term there and
click submit, it works all the way until I get to the
download link. Nothing happens when I click 'download
now'. I use Avast Virus software and even went to Panda
Softwares ActiveScan. Neither of them can find anything
nor can AdAware or Spybot.

Thanks!
