Uninstall the following via the Add/Remove Panel (Start->(Settings)->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs) if they exist:
AutoUpdate

Go to My Computer->Tools/View->Folder Options->View tab and make sure that 'Show hidden files and folders' is enabled. Also make sure that Display the contents of System Folders' is checked. Remember to reset these when done.
Delete the following Files/Folders if they exist:

hey Gecko in my add remove programs list i have something i cant reimove. i did everything you said but there is something called search assistant-my search and when i click to remove it a blank screen comes up and nothing happens not even if im online or not.
i cleaned out my prefetch folder and temp folder and there is no search assistant folder in my program files.
so any advice would be grateful.
