An unwanted internet tool bar was loaded onto our
computer. I got rid of the toolbar but it disabled the
search companion for the internet. How do I get that
back. I have searched thru the microsoft knowledge
base. I have changed the internet search preference on
the companion but he still does not come on. Anyone know
what I've missed?

Adaware and Spybot.
 
First, scan the system for parasites and remove them. SpyBot S&D searches
your harddisk for Spyware and Adware

&

Adaware (similar)

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

This will remove malware from the PC. Next, reset the Search Engine. Click
the Search button in the toolbar > Customize > AutoSearch Settings > Select
a provider from the list.
Open Internet Explorer > Tools > Options > Programs > "Reset Web Settings"

Download the fix - Reset Search:
