unwanted history

i've got an annoying problem @ the moment. whenever i delete cookies, delete
files and clear history,theres always one site that still comes up on the
address bar. i've physically looked in the neccessary folders but cannot seem
to find the address anywhere in my computer. it only shows up on the address
bar. i then clicked on the history button and did a search.the site/page came
up.when i checked properties,it displayed: TYPE:INTERNET SHORTCUT. ive tried
a few spyware programs but i still cannot delete this one history file. i'll
paste the name of the
address:http://www.whatboyswant.com/forum_read/2280223/1/. this address goes
straight to a soccer forum page. i have no idea how to solve this problem.
can anybody help?

Mr. Edd,

I am not an expert but I hope my remarks may help.

You mentioned that you have "physically checked" the computer. I assume this
includes the home page settings, VPN or proxy connections, manage add on(s),
etc.

Have you tried to use the "Reset Web Settings" under the programs tab? If
you do this and it resets back automatically, then it is obvious that your
computer is infected. If this is the case, there are many people here that
giive advice regarding spyware removal. You may want to post in the IE forum.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs
