Whilst I examine your log, could you update IE - your version is hopelessly out of date and probably your biggest security risk, go here and update:

Nothing is immediately jumping out at me - I'll look at it in a bit more detail.

Try this, see if it helps:
Download this .reg file to a temporary place, like Desktop. http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads/tools/IEFIX.reg
Double-click on it and answer Yes.
It will restore all the default Search settings for IE.

Thanks so much, I just downloaded the registry fix and it worked. Everything seems to be back to normal for now. I am also taking Daemon's advice and updating my IE. Jan
