Malicious site/History not Clearing

Here is my problem.

I can not clear out www.kbb.com from IE. It is not bookmarked, I clear the
History the correct way, I un-checked all the auto-complete fields and
everything like that.

Yeat when I open a new IE window after just clearing everything and type in
"www.k" (w/out the quotes) www.kbb.com fills itself in as a choice. This is
more a nuisance than anythign else but extremely embarassing for someone like
me that works in the IT field.

I have used SpyBot, Ad Aware, Pest Patrol and CW Shredder and none of them
find anything wrong. My A/V is up to date and finds nothing as well. I have
done searches for a file with "kbb" in the filename and as text inside the
file. I have also searched the registry thoroughly and it finds nothing at
all.

PLEASE help its driving me insane and I'm already a little crazy to begin
with.
 
Hi,
This URL is probably "stuck" in 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

Or, this URL may be in a TypedURLs key in the registry. This article
explains the TypedURLs history:

Removing some or all entries is an easy registry edit.

For an easier, safer removal method, go to
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm
and download "DelTypedURL." This INF file will remove all entries.

These two freeware programs will remove some or all entries:
IE Address Bar Editor: http://www.freesoft.fsnet.co.uk/ieedit01.htm
EditURLs: http://www.aandrc.com/editurls/index.htm
