Installed netzero and since then have been unable to run
searches on any search engine using the IE6SP1... have
since uninstalled NetZero but still cannot get search
engines to work properly
 
Update your virus definitions (cf. QHosts Trojan) and then run a full system
scan. From now on, do both daily.

Check your system for "hijackware".

HijackThis (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip) is the
preferred tool to use these days. It will help to both identify and remove
any hijackware/spyware. **Post your files to
