I have the following problem, I don´t know in what webpage
or what file but adult material was added to Search(the
one with a magnifying lens and a globe), in the toolbar,
how do I remove this and return it to its default.
 
Get ToolbarCop:
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/utils/ToolbarCop.exe

ToolbarCop removes the Toolbars, Toolbar buttons and unwanted
menu-extensions from Internet Explorer. It does not remove the spyware from
the system entirely. It is advisable to run Ad-Aware scan
(www.lavasoftusa.com), if the toolbar entries are not removed.

SpyBot S&D searches your harddisk for Spyware and Adware

&

Adaware (similar)

(Remember to perform a Webupdate to have the latest definitions installed)

Go to http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads.php#de
Download "Hijack This!" [freeware] or download direct (below)
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zi

Unzip, double-click "HijackThis.exe" and Press "Scan"

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button
Click: "Save Log" (generates: "hijackthis.log"

Next, HijackThis | Config [button] | Misc Tools [button
Click: Generate StartupList log [button] (generates: "startuplist.txt"

Next, go to the below location

Sign in, go to the Browser Hijacking/Spyware Removal section
Press "New Topic", copy and paste both files into your new message

ToolbarCop from http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/ should be able to remove the
toolbar. Try it first.

You probably have other adware, spyware, parasites on your computer.

Download, install, *update* and run these two programs:
Ad-aware from http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
Spybot from http://security.kolla.de/
