IE Startpage : where located ?

[Pivert]

Hi,

sometimes one page or another tries to change my homepage.
OK, I restore.

However, when going to Internet Options-> Startpage, I see many links listed
( search engines, X pages, warez sites and so on), and I would like to
eradicate these form my PC, since I do not need any of these.

I haven't been able to destroy these data, coz' haven't found where they are
store !

Have deleted temp int file, temp files, cookies, history, done search in
regsitry : no success.

Any idea ?

Hi Phil

Try any/all of the following programs to check for and delete any spyware
that may be on your system:

Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/
CWShredder - http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

Already done, and eliminated some ( do AdAware / SpyBot on a weekly basis at
a minimum)
But here I also want to delete traces left somwehere since IE lists them
when I try to change homepage in the drop-down list
