I want MSN search to be the default in instant search on start menu?

I installed netzero dial-up software which didn't even give me a option to
choose which internet search to use. Now everytime i use the instant search
on the start menu to search the internet it now uses netzero search. How do
i change the startmenu instant search to use MSN internet search?

The Start menu Search uses the default search provider as configured in IE
when you click the link to Search the Internet
So if you want to use MSN just set the default Search provider on IE to MSN
(now called Windows Live Search)

Ok when i'm offline and not using the netzero dial-up software i notice that
the internet search default in start menu is Window Live Search www.live.com.
But when I'm using netzero dial-up software it changes the live.com search to
netzero.net search automatically but IE 7 still have the live search by
default. the software is changing the search setting in start menu
