That's one reason I generally avoid specialized IM clients, especially from companies I don't like. Trillian doesn't do any of that and I'm sure none of the many open source alternatives would either.

I'm not sure how extensive the problem is, but if it's simple you should be able to click the arrow next to the icon and change the search engine. If it was a complete replacement of the toolbar, try right-clicking and click "Customize...". Also check in Tools > Add-ons.
If none of that helps, maybe try uninstalling AIM, but I sorta doubt that would remove the "malware" or "hijacker" as I like to call that junk.
