Default Internet Explorer Problems

Anyone else having this problem? I have some sort of lycos search engine that installed itself onto my computer. I removed the program through the control panel, ran my adaware, and it's still there. Everytime I type an address into the address bar, it performs a lycos search instead of going to the page. Any ideas how to get rid of it?

you might have to restart your computer for it to take effect.

I heard it was a "toolbar search virus"
it pretty much just affects your IE, because we unfortunately got one of those on one of our computers at work.
