How do I reinstall the "regular" search engine that came

to something else.

Go to www.lavasoft.de and download and run Adaware then go to www.eon.net.au
and download and run Spybot. You have spyware or possibly a Trojan on your
machine but more likely spyware. Once you have run those two programs and
rebooted, it should all be OK.
 
Some hijacking-type sites also just fill your hosts file
full of sh1t.
c:\windows\system32\etc\drivers\hosts
Open up in notepad and remove any garbage lines.
"127.0.0.1 Localhost" will probably be the only line you
should have, unless you have added some others.
