Search button on Internet Explorer 7

When I use IE7, the Live Search button pops up on the screen and remains. It
prevents me from utilizing the internet. I try to click off the box but it
continues to pop up. I close out the entire browser to restart. When I click
on the IE7 shortcut, a browser size search box pops up, further preventing me
from using the internet. I can't type in the address bar nor can I continue
on with whatever project I may be working on in the opened browser

Thanks Rob,

I'm currently at work so when I get home I will try to see if this works.
Thank you for you assistance. And yes, I believe inadvertantly I had both
Live Toolbar and Google as a toolbar and search functions.
