Damn "search" page

External Since: Aug 08, 2003 Posts: 45

Every so often this "search page" appears when I open IE. I can't close it,
and I have to do a Ctrl+Alt+Del to get rid of it. I've run a complete scan
on the computer but no viruses appear.

I don't think this thing is a threat, just a nuisance, and I can't figure
out where it's coming from.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
