An exit command seems to be activated everytime I close my
Internet Explorer taking me to a malicious URL that traps
my IP Address. I have entered it as a resticted site so I
no longer connect, but the code is still activated
everytime I close the window. Can anyone tell me how to
find the code and delete it? Thanks.

First eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
