Autocomplete will not clear from address bar

[Guest]

Ok firstly I have been all over these newgroups forums like a drunken whore.
I have tried every registry modification and cleaning program known to man
regarding this problem. When in Internet Explorer, I type in a letter and
certain things show up. I got all web address off of the autocomplete list.
Now the only thing that shows up is links which are in favorites and random
files. Image files and such. I am now starting to think that this has
something to do with a search assistant or something, and not actually IE6.
see that wouldnt be such a big deal except for it being annoying that i cant
remove it, but one of the things is http://www.pichunter.com. I have never
been there before except for maybe an unexpected pop-up or something. and I
mean i could just turn off autocomplete, but i'd like to know where all this
is stored and what is actually controlling it and how to clear it. i've been
trying for about 5 hours now, any help is appreciated. Thanks

Try this one: http://www.ccleaner.com/update/?v=1.28.277&l=1033 and check
the box Internet Explorer recently typed URL's It will also help you keep
your machine cleaner anyway.
Hope this helps.
