The search button on my XP toolbar goes to Yahoo Search when I click on it.
Can anyone tell me how to change it. The magnifying glass hot button on my
eMachine laptop does the same. I'd like to get them changed to google if
possible. If you can help me with either or both problems i'd appreciate it.
Thanks

You have a case of browser hijacking.
The quick and easy fix that will benefit you with security is to get the ms
antispyware tool

Then run the browser hijacker tool, once that is done you can reset your
search url

I'm not exactly clear on exactly which "XP toolbar" we're talkin 'bout here,
but if you install an IE toolbar, e.g. Yahoo or Google toolbars they will
give you an option to search for terms by just typing them into the address
toolbar in IE. Is that what you mean? In that case you just have to go
into the vendor toolbar's options and turn the feature off. Or you can just
remove the offending toolbar.
