forestation,
it's possible you got infected with a new trojan (virus) going around. I got it sometime on Monday but took me more than a day to figure it out.
What happens is it creates a HOST file in your C:WindowsSystem32 directory that tells IE to send you to a specific IP when you request a certain website. In my case it redirected every search engine to a 404 page.
What you need to do is search for a file called "HOST" or HOSTS". If you find it open it up and check out the contents - you'll see what I'm talking about.
Anyway just delete the file and restart windows. That fixed the problem in my case..
