Systems IE6 Crashes when using the "search" function

Think I've tried about everything but haven't figured this one out. Using IE6, when trying to use the "Search" function, either IE6 will crash back to the desktop or "PAGE CANNOT BE FOUND ERROR" will appear. Now I can do a search on the MSN page, but clicking the button on the Tool bar causes a crash....

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Sweeper

Found the problem...

Quote:
HuntBar
Summary:
HuntBar is a toolbar providing searching features, which is added to every new Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer window.

It also changes your home page and search bar settings to point to HuntBar's servers, and automatically opens this search bar when it detects you using any other search engine.

Category:
Spyware.

Variants: As well as the original version Huntbar/HuntBar, there is a variant HuntBar/SideSearch.
Distribution: Through ActiveX drive-by-download at affiliate sites, including pop-up advertising served by trafficsyndicate.com.
TrafficSyndicate, the makers of HuntBar, offer 'co-branded' versions of HuntBar which may be installed by other sites under a different name. Known partner sites include bullseyesgames.com and side-search.com.

Advertising: No.
Privacy Violation: HuntBar sends the domain name of the site being viewed, the domain name of any site previously being viewed and the title and any keywords in the current page to its controlling servers whenever a new site is viewed. It does this even if the toolbar is not turned on.
However, it does not (currently) use a cookie or unique ID to track visits across sites.

Security Issues: Yes. HuntBar can silently download and execute arbitrary code, as an update feature.
Stability Problems: None known.
Vendor: The HuntBar portal. TrafficSyndicate, makers of HuntBar,
Got rid of that, but, now I have no search feature from the toolbar. I click on search and get either the error or IE crashes still.
