I have tried desperately, but in vain to remove the starting web page when I
connect to IE. The usual method via INTERNET OPTIONS just doesn't work. The
errant page is http://search.bearflix.com/ and it simply won't go away
although I removed the source program some time ago. There must be some
rascal program that keeps resetting this address. I have searched several
times for it, but it seems to be well hidden. I know others have this same
problem so there must be a solution for it.
Thanks for any suggestions

The tool that he STOLE from MS and which MS then withdrew from the public

afflicting the OP)!
