I am running win xp, McAfee home 7.0 and I don't know
what has entered my computer. Every time I try to log
onto Google, I get a message stating that my computer has
installed a program that will not allow me to get to
google. It then goes on to give directions on how to
remove a file and even has an address to report it to the
FCC.

That's just the beginning, I can't use any type of search
engine. If I try the explorer search on the tool bar I
get the "can not open page" message. This also happens
on any search type site, including yahoo search, cnn
search and so on.

I have tried the McAffe scan and it says my system is
fine, even with the McAffe update. I have tried to
reinstall explorer from microsoft and downloaded all xp
patches. Please help!
Thanks.

Try looking at the list of installed programs you have on your computer (
the add/remove option in the Device Manager ).
Perhaps some sleazy rude searchbar ( produced by a sleazy rude company )
downloaded itself on your computer.
