I installed a toolbar from Inboxdollars and since then every time I search for something it uses as my search engine something associated wit yahoo called serp.freecause.com and then I get the "problem loading page" message because it can't find the server at that address. I've uninstalled the toolbar and even took yahoo off my list of search engines. But nothing gets rid of it. Any suggestions?

I ran a complete scan with Norton Antivirus. Cleaned the Registry, history, temporary files and did a Virus Scan. It actually worked. I did not install anything to get this, but used an unprotected Wireless network and I think that/s how I picked it up.
