Internet Explorer Search Engine

R

Robert Knight

Hello,
I'am trying too change my Search engine back to MSN
search, right now it is DRSN search and it will not find
anything. I ahve tryed to customize but there is nothing
to customize, any help would be appreciated.

open ie,
open the search pane by clicking the search button (if it is not yet open)
if you don't see the customize button, widen the pane by dragging the
vertical bar between the webpage pane and the search pane towards the right.
click on customize button.
when the search customize settings window appears, check msn search.
however, make sure you don't have any search toolbars from different
companies as they may override the settings you have made or will make.

hope this helps.

regards,

Wes,
Sorry but all attempts have failed! I tried everything to
remove that DSRN Search Engine ( BY SHOPNAV ). Installed
SPYHUNTER & AD-AWARE 6.0 to remove everything, but that
SEARCH ENGINE still keeps coming up. Tried to search
GOOGLE for more info and found how to remove from
REGISTRY but there is nothing in the registry to remove.
AT A LOSS..............
