Default Can you help

Strange.
Whenever I start to type Scoobynet the computer suggests/prompts a dodgy site that also begins with S . I've never knowingly visited this site but c'ant seem to stop it happening even after using the 'clear history' function.
I've looked through my favourites to see if its somehow got there but it has'nt

Can anyone explain how I get rid of it??

Spyware m8.

Google for Adaware and Spybot (both free) and then purchase Spysweeper for about £20.
You may need to run in safe mode to totally eradicate the infestation, hit F8 before the windows boot up screen, then choose safe mode and rerun all 3 programmes.

Good luck

Could also try the free Anti-Spyware from Microsoft. Can be found here: www.microsoft.com/downloads
