As soon as I open the internet explorer I have two icons
placed on my desk top. One for pills the other for
online gambling. I cannot find the source. Instead of
explorer opening a default it continues to open the
following URL 'http://www.idgsearch.com/'. I cannot find
it to delete it. When I change the default to Google or
my ISP it converts to 'http://www.idgsearch.com/'
Grateful for some boffin advice

Many thanks signed: an extremely frustrated amatuer!
