IE Search

[Public Moron #1]

Hi,

Due to Microsoft's massive security holes, some weird
search engine I never heard of managed to install this
cheezy search bar I can't get rid of. It's not listed
in "Add or Remove Programs" in the "Control Panel".

How do I reset IE's settings to get the original search
bar? (The one with the dog.) Also, I would like to know
how I can check to see all of the add-ins and plug-ins
that might be installed in IE.

Please help. Thank you. Have a nice day.

PS The search engine that installed it, is startium.com.
I've never even visited their site until this crappy
search bar arrived, and I don't want to again. I advise
you to avoid them.
