Somehow a SpyWare Search Toolbar was installed and
modified the Search Pane to use their search site.
After using ADAWARE and Spybot to remove the offending
files and registry entries. The IE Search Button and
Search Pane do not work. The Search Pane appears on the
left side but is completely Blank.
How can I repair this.
