# sounds like...
spyware.... download ad aware and let it scan your pc - it will probably get rid of it.

# I hope you`re a dab hand
with RegEdit!

try looking at key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Exploder\Search

my defaults are 
http://ie.search.msn.com/{SUB_RFC1766}/srchasst/srchcust.htm


hopefully resetting the two keys there will do the trick

edit: and do as the nice people have said and check for spyware :-)

I think (think!) tweakui / tweakXP (nice wee tweaking tool) will let you do it through a GUI
