Ad & AdWare

I have been unable to get rid of my new default home page in IE 6.0.28
version. Beware of the URL below, as it will become your permanent home
page.

#1. Have you ever seen this URL?
#2. Where in the registry is this stored?

always ban these sites so you do not add to their hit
counts and give them money. Then, at the worst, if
redirected there you get a blank page and they get nothing.
