Some nefarious person installed a cookie or some such on
my computer that will no longer allow me to search by
URL. It has the Address bar locked and when I type a URL
into the Search field sends me to Searchium, Global
Explorer and other such brand X search engines.

What can I do to restore the ability to search by URL?
