On Startup to IE6, brings up Home Page --ok,but at each
Session, also comes up, is `Shopnav Search` with a tick
in `Search` in the Explorer Bar. Once unticked,never
comes up again, till next Session.Anybody know, how to
stop it coming up, at all,unless selected on Explorer
Bar.
 
dorset,
"Shopnav" = Parasite (aka: Sypware.Shopnav)
Note: this also installs "2020search" and in the last few days "popuptoast"
