I would much prefer Google to be my default search engine
but when I go to the customize search button nothing
happens and I am not presented with any options. Any
suggestions as to what is wrong. The search options were
hijacked by Shop Nav but I have got rid of this with Ad-
aware.
 
Try going to Tools, Internet Options, Programs, and Reset
Internet Options. Then go back to Search again and click
Customize. You may have to deselect services (like "Find a
Web Page") and apply a few times. Select a single site
like MSN then apply. Then select multiple search sites
over again to make the Google "hijack" go away. You may
have to restart browser too. There is a good chance that
it was not really a Google site there but actually
a "spoofed" site by a hijacker (i.e Shop Nav, etc.). Stop
going to those porn sites!!!
