IE Searches Redirected?

[Guest]

When I use Yahoo or Google to search for things, the results page is a
bootleg copy of a standard Yahoo or Google result page. It is missing the
logos and every link in the results list belongs to another search engine.
(sirsearch, askmen.com, upspiral, xuppa) I have reinstalled IE6 to no avail.
I upgraded to SP2, symptoms persist. I ran NAV, AVERT, & Spybot S&D all in
safe mode finding no threats, worms, variants or anything else. I'm using
Firefox as a substitute, but I'd much rather us IE. Anybody else seen this or
know of a fix?
