buttons that can be seen are new, next, and customize. if
i click either one of them it says 'sorry page cannot be
found' where is MY SEARCh bar?! I am using IE6 and i
think its updated and I have checkd for spyware (there's
none). if I right click these button it leads me to the
site : http://ie.search.msn.com/srchasst/404.aspx. I hate

Your browser has been hijacked. Fix this and other malware by using
Spybot Search & Destroy from www.security.kolla.de and Ad-aware from
www.lavasoftusa.com. Be sure to update these programs before running
them. It is best to run antivirus and spyware removal tools in Safe
Mode.

all of I tried ad-aware and spybot but it is still in the
browser! aargh! Please help!

Try that again?

 

[Mikel]

I already did try again the spybot thing and the ad-aware
stuff. they scanned and deleted some files but none of it
fixed the search bar! it still displays the same toolbars
and links to the same website. It is very annoying.
Please Help.

Thanks

Not 'that' again, better explain your issue.

In the meantime, run the edit on line 245: Right hand side

what do you mean by "better explain your issue"? I am
sorry I am really slow. I know I already explained it my
first post.

The thing is I want the default search software of XP
back, cause it really becomes convinient. I did not
install any search software, I really think that it was
hacked or somethin'....

thank you so much for your time.
