Hi Martin,
If the search engines are not working, your systems are probably infected by
the recent QHosts Trojan.
This Trojan Horse that will modify the TCP/IP settings to point to a
different DNS server. Blocks many search engines.

Open the HOSTS file and delete all mappings except:
127.0.0.1 localhost
The file is located at
"C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc" (named "HOSTS")
Backup the current HOSTS file first.
