Hi,
Try these freeware programs.
Spybot - Search & Destroy :
http://security.kolla.de/
Ad-aware 6- Lavasoft:
http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
It's less likely to be a Browser Helper object, but for future reference:
BHOCaptor:

If not completely successful with those programs:
Close IE.
Run REGEDIT and make your way to this key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt]
Select that key then> Registry> Export. You'll have that key backed up if
you need to undo the registry edit.
Find your unwanted item as a sub-key of [Internet Explorer\MenuExt]
Note the name of an HTM file which may be in the right pane.
Delete the offending sub-key.
Close Registry Editor.
Find the HTM file(s) and delete them.

Visit
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/restricted.htm#Setting for some
recommended security settings.
You could go to REGEDIT first, but Spybot and Ad-aware will probably find
other things you'd like to be rid of.
Hope this helps,
Don
