Re: Help remove Open Search Web

SpyBot Search and Destroy is especially good at cleaning out that kind of

You can also try to empty your favorites the "accepted" and correct way. Go
to Start. Right click on Internet Explorer - then internet properties. Go to
delete files. Place a tick in the box that say delete off-line content.

You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!
