    Did you check to see if they installed any browser plugin? (run hijackthis)
    Or, activex: (Tools, internet options, programs, manage addons)
    Does it happen only with the built in search bar?
    Does it also happen when you go to http://www.live.com/ and search from there?

    Do you get this with both IE and Firefox?

    This reminds me of that VeriSign domain wildcard redirect they did a while back. Though, that affected just about everybody...

    Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.

    There have actually been a few Charter customers who've found my blog post on this subject and have commented with their own information (http://www.computerdefense.org/?p=217)

    I've added a comment directing them to this thread.
