Bill,
Interesting account at http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/data/ieplugin.htm

But, try this for removal...
Download, install, *update* and run both of these programs:
Ad-aware from http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
Spybot from http://security.kolla.de/ (Remove items listed in red-others are
optional.)
Both programs should be updated after installation- before use.

Security tips and other information at:

Hope this helps,
Don
