I just found a Wanadoo (isp) search bar in the lower viewing box of my outlook express. I have XP software

I also have problems getting back to my usually isp homepage as it also comes up as Wanadoo when I click on the home icon. EVEN THOUGH only my isp provider is mentioned in tools ~ connections and is ticked as default

In internet options if I click default it comes back to freeserve which is the name of the company Wanadoo bought out v recently

I have gone everywhere I can think...programme files etc and deleted every mention of freeswerve everywhere...no mention of wanadoo is anywhere...but even deleting freeserves EVERY mention does nothing to preven the fdefault going back to wanadoo which is not even mentioned in the connections box

WHAT THE F**** do I do now

thanks
