Yahoo and MSN search engines will not work

[Cindi Howard]

I am having a problem with google, Yahoo, and MSN search
engines. While using both e and MSN internet explorers,
I cannot search. I get a 404 error whenever I search for
anything. However, excite.com will give me results. I
have tried searching for various things. I even
searched for banana just to get a result. I have tried
restoring default settings. Any help anyone can give
would be greatly appreciated. I am guessing that it is a
setting that I have changed.

It is a trogan that highjacked your search Engines.
