When I launch I.E. from the start menu my home page comes up ok with my address, but when I want to search for anything the address changes to http//as.starware.com and the page just comes up blank. What has happened and how can I change it back to normal?

The reason behind that is the starware software has been installed on your pc which will always keep on searching when you use search but it will not give you authentic result most of the time.

Here are several things you can do.
First, get a spyware cleaning program. I suggest AVG Antispyware. You can get it from link #1 at the bottom. Run it, clean your system, and make sure you enable Resident Shield.
Second, switch to Firefox. Firefox is an alternate browser to internet explorer. Internet explorer is known for having numerous security holes, even the latest 7.0 still does. It took over 2 years for them to upgrade from 6.0 and 7.0. You can see footage of this at link #2 at the bottom. You can get Firefox from link #3. Firefox also has many good plug ins. I suggest Adblock,All-in-one gestures,and the Google tool bar.
Third, read up on basic internet safety. See link #4 at the bottom.

IE is sucks! Use Mozilla Firefox 2. You will love it!
