Registry Setting for IE 6.0 CustomizeSearch & SearchAssistant

[Jeff Ritchie]

A virus or control has changed or added an entry for
Internet Explorer - Search to a web site I'd rather not
have it going to due to inappropriate material. Can
anyone tell me how to put my settings back to their
default.

Thanks

First eliminate any scumware.

So do I just delete the unwanted registry entries under
Internet Search?

Jeff,
The point was to scan your system for parasites, etc.
In most cases there is a lot more involved than just removing a Registry
entry.
