A web site illegally modified the right click menu of the
Internet Explorer browser to include a link to the site.
This appears sandwiched between "Refresh" and
"Properties". Does anyone know how I could get rid of it?
Thanks.

Get ToolbarCop:
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/utils/ToolbarCop.exe

or, try the manual procedure:

1. Click [Start] [Run] type [REGEDIT]
2. Navigate to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt.
Each subkey of this key represents one menu item. Many will include an ampersand (&) to define the underlined key associated with the command.

Highlight the key you want to delete (for example, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\Zoom &In).
Choose Export from the Registry menu and export that branch to a file.

Now delete the key.

Additionally, run Ad-Aware scan (www.lavasoftusa.com). Update Ad-Aware before scanning
