Firefox and Google Search (searchya)

Hi E's, some days ago I install a software, and that software made some changes in my Firefox configuration.
Now, every time I do a search and put the words in the address bar for do that search, the search engine by default is the site "searchya!", but what I want is change again to the "Google".
I try to change that configuration in the options of firefox, but I don't found anything.
I have Windows 7, and the version of my firefox is 14.0.1.
How I change the configuration for google was my default search engine in firefox?

The best regards, JC

Thanks for your answers.
I do every thing like you tell me. But now I have another problem, when I write something in the address bar, FF request a valid address, like you can see in this image:

joaochagas--What is the address you are entering into the FF Address Bar?
I write in the address bar "search all things"!
Before I infected with searchya, when I write more then one word in address bar, the browser open google.com with my search, and now not work.

The best regards, JC
joaochagas--Where do you expect Firefox will take you if you try "search all things" ?

A page like this--about NPR?
https://www.google.com/search?q=all+things&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US:IE-Address&ie=&oe=

Have you established a new Search engine?

"Search all things"  would, indeed not seem like a valid address for a browser.  It would be fine for a Search engine.
What happens when you enter a normal URL in to the Address line?  Normal would be like www.google.com .
