UrlSearchHook
UrlSearchHook is a component used by browser to translate the address of an unknown URL protocol. When attempting to browse to a URL address that does not contain a protocol, the browser will first attempt to determine the correct protocol from the address. If this is not successful, the browser will use the result returned by UrlSearchHook. Many IE hijackers will add their UrlSearchHook to your system so every time when you type a url without protocol, you will be redirected to the hijacker's site. This section will help you change your UrlSearchHook back to the default one if your IE is hijacked by UrlSearchHook.
