of it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Have you cleared/deleted the history and cookies?

Normally when the history is cleared, the address bar will
be blank when typing sites in.

Hi,
You might also try Spybot S&D from http://security.kolla.de/

But, this URL is probably coming from the index.dat file in the History
folder.

Free History Eraser from
http://smartprotector.com/eraser/free-history-eraser.htm will delete the
History folder (and the index.dat file) and a new one will be created when
you restart.
Or the History folder can be deleted manually:

Hope this helps,
Don
