Help! I can't search from my Address Bar anymore! :(



I use Home XP and IE6. A few weeks ago a search engine called Yoogee
latched itself to my address bar. With a program called AdAware, I got
rid of Yoogee and all of the adwares, spywares and stuff that came
with it. Now, I can't search from my address bar anymore. For example:
lets say I search for "chocolate", I get http:///?%20chocolate, and
the titlebar would read "Cannot find server" along with a message on
the page saying "The page cannot be displayed".

I've tried reseting IE's internet options. I've tried a few tweaks to
the registry. When I attempted to reinstall IE6, I received an error
message saying:

"The software you are installing has not passed Windows Logo testing
to verify its compatibility with Windows XP.

This software will not be installed. Contact your system
administrator."

This I found funny because I downloaded IE6 from Microsoft! So, why
isn't XP recognizing/accepting the software?? Most importantly: Does
anyone have any suggestions on what I can do, that will allow me to
search from my address bar again? Any more regedit tricks, or code
maneuvering? I like to use Google. Thanks in advance. Any help or
suggestion would be VERY appreciated.
