Thank you for the additional information. You have a hijacker or other type of malware. Some types of malware can replicate itself repeatedly if not fully removed.

I use XP home SP2, IE 6, Outlook Express, MS Antispyware and Norton
Antivirus, all up-to-date with the very latest updates. Nevertheless in the
last few days IE has been hijacked by some type of infection. The symptoms
are: after a search for a particular site when clicking on it I get taken to
another unwanted & undesired site (ie: Morwill Search.com and others). I have
attempted to clean this out by using MS Antispyware, Ad-Aware SE, No Adware,
Spybot, Spyware, Panda Activescan & Trend Micro all without success.
Has anyone had similar problems and how was it resolved?
Can anyone help?
If I can not clean this out of my system I may have to consider using
Firefox & Eudora rather then MS IE & Internet Explorer.
