    use aim ad hack to remove all that crap that comes with aim

    if not, use aimpro (it doesn't contain crap with it)

    or don't use aim at all

    Can't you remove the add-in from Add/Remove programs?

    If it's not listed....regedit

    also, don't ever install AIM or any version of it, bad idea in the first place. Actually, anything AOL related is a bad idea ;)

    If you REALLY need to use AIM, use the web based version: https://my.screenname.aol.com/_cqr/login/login.psp?seamless=novl&sitedomain=sns.aimexpress.aol.com&lang=en&locale=us&authLev=2&siteState=ver%3a1%252c0%26ac%3aAE%26ld%3aaimexpress.aim.com%26uv%3aAIM%26lc%3aen-us%26ud%3aaol.com%26br%3aWebSuite-AimExBeta

    edit:

    for your search deal, open regedit and dig down to:

    HKey_Local_Machine>SOFTWARE>Microsoft>Internet Explorer>Search

    Look for the key called "Search Assistant"
