How do I get rid of this problem on a Windows XP Pro Machine running IE 7? I have run AdAware with updated defs but the problem just comes right back (or never goes away). Thanks.

Some website has hijacked your search.

1. Use the following scanners to find and remove the website.

Ewido
ewido - anti-spyware and anti-malware solutions
or
Spy Sweeper
http://mysite.webroot.com/forms/Infoworld
or
SpyBot S&D searches your harddisk for so-called spy- or adbots;
The home of Spybot-S&D!
or
Adaware
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

2. Doubleclick website redirects links to their websites using your HOSTS file. Do a search for the HOSTS (without extension) file and remove the entry.

HOSTS file is located in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC. It is a hidden file, so you need to unhide hidden files to see it. Go to any folder and select Tools > Folders Options > View. Check "Show hidden files and folders". Click OK.

3. If still no joy, download HijackThis
