D DVarnau Dec 11, 2003 #3 Hi, You might also try Spybot S&D from http://security.kolla.de/ But, this URL is probably coming from the index.dat file in the History folder. Free History Eraser from http://smartprotector.com/eraser/free-history-eraser.htm will delete the History folder (and the index.dat file) and a new one will be created when you restart. Or the History folder can be deleted manually: http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm Hope this helps, Don
