Website Virus - cannot delete site from address bar.

[nobby111]

hi guys,

Sorry posted in wrong forum earlier.

Can someone pls help. I have a web address NOT in my favourites that wont go when i start typing in the address bar. If i try and delete it it stays, when i clear all history etc it stays, even if I use pC Fix or CCleaner it stays - must be a virus but must be fixable. No idea why its there or why it wont go. Very annoying indeed.

How do i get rid of the bloody thing?

Any help greatly appreciated guys.

Thanks

Dan
