looks like a common problem, not able to search from address bar

[Guest]

I am using Windows XP and am unable to search from the address bar. I have
run Ad-Aware several times removing all spyware. I have also used your
suggested parasite detectors and have found nothing. I'm not sure what to
try now. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Whenever I try to search from the address bar, I get a "http://" etc like
it's trying to open a page named whatever I'm trying to search for.

Unlock the IE toolbar, and drag the Address bar handle to the correct location.

Other options:

The Internet Explorer Address bar is missing:
