Sounds like you may have a browser hijacker.

Download 'Hijack this' from:

http://members.cowtown.net/beansoup/mylinks.htm

To find out.

Adaware 6 from http://www.lavasoft.com is a great program as well if you don't already have it, though it probably won't remove browser hijacks. (Always surprising what is does find though). Best of all, they are both free!

Good luck!

It's a Browser Hijack for sure.

All you have to do is type something like "remove magicsearch" into google.

I just did it, and found a forum where there are some people who seem to have found out:
