Default default search engine in winXP SP2

Hi there.
Can anybody tell me where the system strores information about default
search engine?(run when type word to be searched in IE adress line).
Guys in my company caught 'some(virus?)thing' wich set up itself to
www.yoogee.com. (trying to remove it i deleted file nem220.dll from windows
dir. Noow it doesnt work at all, he he)
I want it back to be msn, or yahoo.
I remember I could change it in the past in registry file .. but now, cannot
find the right key(it doesnt seem to be writen in there anymore).
Can one of you guys tell me where to look for this setings. And.. how to
change it.
Please!
Michael

Hi Michael,

Run this combo:

Run Ad-Aware SE, Spybot and HijackThis:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads31.html

Note: Update the first two programs, once installed, before running.

All of them, then run line 229 if needed:

Hi Michael,

Something worth a look is Microsoft Antispyware :
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu...s/default.mspx

In MS antispyware , click on advanced tools , click on browser restore.
And restore away , best is , next time something tries to change it , you
will be informed of who what and where, and be allowed to decide.

P.s Kelly your site rulz.
