386050 2005-09-04 23:44:00 I have a URL (internet address) which refuses to be deleted, in Microsoft Internet Explorer . Whenever I start to type in www for any new address it shows up on the drop down address history . I want to remove it .

I've been to Tools/internet options/Clear History, which removes all other addresses but not this one .

I've run Adaware and Spybot, and Disk Cleanup .

Any suggestions?

386053 2005-09-05 00:25:00 Well u could post a hijackthis log here .

Just make sure to create a folder called HJT and unzip the hijackthis zip file into it, before u run it and copy and paste a log here .

Might be some spyware or something thats hijacked IE .

386054 2005-09-05 00:43:00 What's the URL? Could some variant of CoolWebSearch, in which case you could try cwshredder. Worked for me when I had a hijack like this with IE. mark c (247)

386056 2005-09-05 01:31:00 Thanks for the replies. And thank you drcspy. Easy peasy. Internet options/content/autocomplete did the trick, just like that!

Cheers
