IE Search engine taken over

Neil · Jul 7, 2004

I`m not sure how its happened all i can think of is that
its installed itself with another piece of software,But i
seem to have aquired a new search engine (SirSearch.Com).
I would like to get back to using the Standard MSN IE
search engine but cant find how to re-enable it, I have
tried doing a system search and deleting any files with
SIRSEARCH in the file name but it still comes up when i
start a new search. I Have also run AdAware and SpyBot..
Any help would be very greatfull. Thanks in advance

Greetings Neil,

Try these programs to check for any spyware that may be on your system:

Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/
CWShredder - http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

Try SpyWareBlaster to stop intrusions:

Has been down for a few days. Perhaps all the referrals killed it

The CW Shredder program is no longer. He's out of the business. He
reported so on his site a few days ago.
