my browser title bar

[Khalid]

In my title bar instead of "Microsoft Internet Explorer" a
title appears as an advertisement about a site i visited
"07776161 visit www.my6161.com for free 50MB mail box".
In addition to that when I click the "Online Support" in
the "Help" menu my browser opens this
site "www.my6161.com".
What can I do to restore my browser.
waiting for your reply.

Start
regedit
navigate to this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMain

change the value of the string "Window Title" to whatever
you want on the title bar of Internet Explorer - to have
no title except the title of the web pages you are
browsing do not enter anything for a value.
