I just was prompted to download IE 8, and I did. Initially, when I opened IE
I got a message," Internet Explorer - Search Provider Default. A program on
your computer has corrupted your default search provider setting for Internet
Explorer. Internet Explorer has reset this setting to your original search
provider, Live Search ( search.live.com). Internet Explorer will now open
Search Settings, where you can change this setting or install more search
providers." I have selected Google as my search provider and closed this
window. However, even though IE opens with Google as my homepage, the same
message spelled out above keeps coming up; if I just close it, it goes away
until I open IE again. How do I get rid of this message?

I am running Windows XP with SP3 and all the latest updates.
