Thanks	Guest (0)

This should reset to the original If you don't have the search button go to view; Toolbars; Standard Buttons; and make sure it is ticked. if it is ticked and you still don't have the search button go to view; toolbars; customize; and put in the search button. Then click it and do as I said before. I hope this helps. If You still can't get it to work, you could always reinstall IE. :)	Guest (0)

HTH I had the lop.com on my PC. I've tried everything (registry, files, etc), but could not remove it. As a last resort, I used the 'uninstall' file from www.lop.com - and it worked fine. At last I'm lop-free!!! Thanks to all that sent replies to my previous posting.	Guest (0)
