internet optimizer

[linda]

Whenever my browser can't find a site, an "Internet
Optimizer" search page pops up instead of what used to be
the default page. I've removed the program (which I'm sure
I didn't intall) and used Spybot, but it's still there.
Any idea how I can get rid of it?
Thanks in advance.
