Search button keeps getting redirected

[Cheryl K]

My search button on the toolbar keeps being redirected to
http://searchcentrix.com. It is very annoying as these
searches just refer me to merchants. How do I get these
intruders out of my browser and stop others from getting
in?

First, scan the system for parasites and remove them. SpyBot S&D searches
your harddisk for Spyware and Adware
http://security.kolla.de/

&

Adaware (similar)
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
(Remember to perform a Webupdate to have the latest definitions installed)

This will remove malware from the PC. Next, reset the Search Engine. Click
the Search button in the toolbar > Customize > AutoSearch Settings > Select
a provider from the list.
Open Internet Explorer > Tools > Options > Programs > "Reset Web Settings"

Download the fix - Reset Search:

Get Hijack from
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip

Or get BHCop from
http://www.pcmag.com/utilities/

One of these will solve your problem - probably most likely HiJack!
