Try this:
Open IE, click on tools, click on manage add-ons, find BOTH instances of MSN
Search (Helper and Toolbar) and highlight them each one by one and set them
to disable. If they're not loaded (due to faulty loading) you may need to
change the drop down box to add-ons that have been used by IE instead of the
default which is add-ons that are currently in use. Find those and disable
'em and that error *should* go away. As for it saying it's installed and
it's not then you might need/want to look for the MSI installer cleanup
package (I don't have the URL handy on this PC but you should be able to
find it) to clean up faulty installs and uninstalls of the packages.
