Internet Search Engines Stopped Working

Help! I can no longer run any type of search engine on my computer. When I go to excite, yahoo, google, etc and type in something to search the fcollowing message appears "The connection was refused when attempting to contact clickit.go2net.com"
I have Norton Internet Security Professionsal and may have some how disabled something. But I have looked everlywhere I can think of and cannot find a block on "clickit.go2net.com"
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I can get on any other web sites, I am just unable to search.
I have the following all my computer and run them often: Spy Sweeper, Spybot, Ad Aware, Norton Internet Security Professional, Norton Antivirus, CWS shredder, and Ccleaner.
Any more suggestions?

it might be useful to also check your hostsfile as well some viruses can change/add and block sites to this
go to search and type in hosts make sue you have show hidden files and folders tick box checked it is in tools then goto folder options then view.
it will be in this folder if you have xp (C:\I386) open it with notepad and check it
it should look like this
