Default Search Lost

by bcoleman20 Mar 18, 2005 3:35AM PST

Somhow I lost the default search engine. When I click "Search" it used to default to MSN. Now nothing comes up and I have to choose from some listing that appears "fishy" - maybe from some trojan or spyware. How do I choose a default search engine and save it?

I have a Dell Dimension 4600, Windows XP.
