a few months ago, while using windows explorer, I "fat fingered" a couple of keys and wound up with a web browser I cannot get rid of. It is called "sexpatriot.com" I can delete it by applying "use blank" and it remians deleted until I turn the computer off and then it comes right back. I have run SPYBOT and a couple of other shareware programs but have had no luck. Do you have any tips as to ow to rid myself of this unwanted browser?

If you are using windows this is probably malware You should get ad-aware and use it to scan your systems for such malware and remove it To get Ad-Aware go to http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ and download a free copy.
