searching the internet from the address bar in the task bar

[Conan Kelly]

Has anyone seen this?

I have the address bar enabled in my task bar. Normally when I want to
search the internet I type a phrase into the address bar (either Windows
taskbar address bar or MS IE address bar), it would search using MSN's
search engine by default. I just noticed recently that it is using some
"Shopnav" site as default search engine. How can I change this back to
MSN's search engin or another?

Thank you for any help anyone can provide,

Download all of these utilities and scan the system.

Note: Spyware removers are rules-based and are updated very frequently as and when new malware is discovered. Therefore, update both of these tools before scanning, very important.
