I had the same issue on my wife's system and this is how I solved it. I tried every pest, spyware, and virus scanner around and none detected or fixed this issue. This is what you need to do:
1) Make sure internet Explorer is closed.
2) Back up your Windows registry. To do this, click on Start, Run, then type "regedit" and click OK. You are now in your windows registry editor. Now, at the top of your screen click "Registry" and then "Export Registry File". Make sure to select the Export Range radio button that says "All". Name and save the file to your desktop. This may take a while to complete, so be patient.
3) After the registry backup is complete, navigate through the registry to the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" branch on the left side of the window and look for the "Search Bar" Key on the right side of the window. Double-click on the "Search Bar" key and change the value to "http://g.msn.com/0SEENUS/SAOS01" (without the quotation marks) and click OK. Now close the Registry Editor. What this did is change your Search Toolbar built into Internet Explorer back to the default.
4) Now, find the Internet Explorer icon on your desktop. Right-click on the icon and select "Properties." Click the "Programs" tab and click "Reset Web Settings". A Reset Web Settings dialogue box will appear. Make sure the box is checked that reads "Also reset my home page" and then click "Yes". Next, click on the "Advanced". Click on the "Restore Defaults" button. Then click "OK" at the bottom of this window.
5) You should now be able to open Internet Explorer and your home page will be set to msn.com. Click on the Search button in Internet Explorer and you should see the standard search bar with a Microsoft Corporation copyright at the bottom.
6) Sit back, relax, and curse those bad, bad, people that do these things to our machines.....
