What site does it keep getting? Do a search for files on your pc that
contain that site as text - you may find a vb script file which sets the
site to your favourites/homepage etc, skulking somewhere on your machine. I
had a vb file dropped on me by globesearch .com and edited it so that it is
constantly resetting google as my home page. I would have deleted it but it
had become entangled with my registry and I didn't want to muck up my
machine.

| Some dodgy site a couple of weeks ago has
| set IE6 to load up with the search button
| depressed to show some crappy search engine.
| The links bar also appears when I first load it up.
|
| I've put up with it until now but it's really starting
| to bloody annoy me. =8-z
|
| Any ideas on how to sort it out. I've looked through
| the options a number of times but nothing seems
| to work.
