Unwanted autosearch engine

When I do a search from the address bar the search
defaults to an engine called Yoogee which seems to have
been set up as the default without me wanting it or
knowing about it.
I think Yoogee has sth to do with a thing called Internet
Optimizer which I think was downloaded in the same sneaky
way. I have now deleted I. Optimizer but still can't get
rid of Yoogee.
I was quite happy with the Microsoft search engine and
have tried all the suggested ways to reset the default
autosearch engine, including editing the registry, but it
has made no difference.
Any suggestions much appreciated.

The best way to eliminate this toolbar/searchbar is to use Ad-Aware and
eradicate the product. visit www.lavasoftusa.com

I had a similar problem with a different search engine.
Got rid of all spyware using the programs listed. Worked
great. Only problem is now I have NO search engine. How
do I get one back?
 
Click Search button in Ie and choose customize. If you can see the search
providers, you can customize it there. If not please write back.

Click to expand...

You didn't mention your OS. I believe you need to go into the search
area while on line and click customize in the bar area to bring up a
list of search engines.

Or, if you want Google, there's a downloadable fix at Kelly's Korner
