search from address bar

I downloaded the Yahoo software (NOT THE Y! TOOLBAR, just the software) to allow me to type words in the Address bar to start Yahoo! search. At home it works fine. At work it used to work fine, but now it doesn't. Instead of opening a window that starts with Yahoo! Search - Web Search, it opens a window that starts with wwwo.notfounditem.net, and there's a ton of "sponsored results" before it gets to the results I want. I reloaded Yahoo's search software, no dice. I added "wwwo.notfounditem.net" to my restricted sites list - it doesn't stop the searches from opening off that site. I did web searches to try to track this down and I can't find any documentation on how to remove it, what spyware it's connected to, or what have you.

Any ideas?
