default link?

[Me]

I visited a web site and since then my IE browser shows me the link
below constantly. I tried to remove it using IE's standard options but it
appears again. What is the problem? I used Internet Options but it does not
help. It helped me temporarily but the next day the link appears again.

Sounds like some kind of spyware on your computer.

Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org
Ad-aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
It is recommended every computer have both programs (or
alternatives) on top of your Anti-Virus Program
Make sure they are always updated and run them regularly,
especially after you have downloaded a program or your
computer/browser begins acting different/strange.
