I've found the solution. Only took 2 minutes to fix the
"NetSearchSoft" hijack. The www.computercops.biz forums have helped,
and you can download the software called "HiJackThis". I had to run
the scan three times to get rid of NetSearchSoft completely, but it
worked great. No more annoying blue bars and no other search engine is
popping up. Great software.
