For some reason, none of my web browsers will perform a search from a specific site. Internet Explorer will not search on yahoo or any other site. Netscape will not search and I get this error message when I try to search for anything on any search engine.

Not Found
The requested URL /search was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.28 Server at plain.rackshack.net Port 80

Also, if I try to input a search engine directly, like www.google.com I get:

There is no website configured at this address. and some website called www.cpanel.net

I really need help. I need my search engines desperately. I have scanned with both spybot and adaware and deleted all those files. i have norton antivirus 2004 and it couldnt find it. i have done everything to fix this problem. i've even uninstalled my browsers and reinstalled. still nothing. i need help.

I have used both Adaware and Spybot and neither one of them has worked. I have used the Trojan Qhost program and it can't find the problem.

Download 'Hijack This!'. Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".
When the scan is finished, click "Save Log", and copy and paste it in a reply, in the security forum.

I want to thank you all for your help. I used the program KazaaBegone and it removed all the bundled software that I thought I removed when I uninstalled Kazaa. Thank all of you for your help.
