Hey...I'm having a problem with websites in my address bar. I have done scans to remove adware and spyware and I've used programs like SpyBot, I've manually deleted everything too...

Yet when I type in www.a ...a website completion still pops up like I've visited it, only I haven't gone to that webpage in months and I just tried deleting it all with the clear options for the internet and with scans and manual deletions.

Much help wanted on what is really starting to tick me off.

Maybe you guys already know this, but in IE tools/options/auto complete, you can indicate exactly what you want to be or not to be auto-completed or suggested.. This handles the dropdown on the file/open menu.

Recently Typed Entries: there's not really much to be done here. Around 25 recent entries are kept in the registry, documented in a knowledgebase article I'll refer to in a minute. In reality it's small enough that there's just not much reason to try to edit or control this. It'll just fill up again with the next places you visit

Please don't make statements if you are just CLUELESS Leo

Well, those help but they are not pop-up blockers. My favorite is the google toolbar. This article has a little more: http://ask-leo.com/archives/000200.html

How about if you blow away the values in this reg key...
