You may change the MSN search assistant to Google default.
Download this file: http://www.google.com/google.reg
Right click on it and select "merge" to your Registry.
Follow the prompts to accept the change.
Don't want Google as your search assistant, change it back with this
file http://www.google.com/default.reg Again, right click on the file,
select "merge" to your Registry. Follow the prompts to accept the
change to reset your MSN search back.
