Address Window not performing search

[Allyson Nix]

I inadvertantly downloaded third party software that kept
taking me through their site for internet searches. After
2 hours I finally found the software hidden in my files
and I deleted them....I tried the uninstall but it
wouldn't work.

Now I can't perform searches using the address window on
my browser. I've already reinstalled Internet
Explorerer...didn't help.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Allyson
