It's a mess, but "Total Access 2003" is probably listed in Add/Remove programs. Do 
these things, but you don't need to have Earthlink's software installed at all, in 
order to get internet service from them. 

You can run "Hijack This" again and choose to have all of these fixed. Then REBOOT. 
(You can reset your homepage afterward to what you want.)

Then download the .REG file at the link below to reset I.E.'s default search settings. 

Fix these:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://www.earthlink.net/partner/more/msie/button/search.html
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://www.earthlink.net/partner/more/msie/button/search.html
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://start.earthlink.net
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = http://www.earthlink.net/partner/more/msie/button/search.html

Download this .reg file to your Desktop. Double-click on it and answer Yes, to merge 
into your registry. It will restore all the default Search settings for IE.
