Hijacked Browser Search Button

[don]

When I went to use The Search button, I found the search
engine is now set to Searchv.com The original msn, alta
vista functions are gone. Customize is disabled and
gives Searchv site. How do i remove Searchv and return
to original system?? Restore feature has been disabled
too.

See www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm, Line 229, Left column, Set IE
Search to Default. See the instructions at the top of the page for using
REG files.
