This is the scummiest of things.
You have to go into the regedit and search (manually
scroll) to Internet Explore section MAIN
look for the offending party - should be several places,
not just one!
delete the HOMEisp or OLDHOMEisp or something like that
ALSO have to edit the SEARCH and SEARCH ASSISTANT
and might as well delete the offender from the typeURL
section there too
There maybe some other zombie in there
