O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SystemSearch] REGEDIT.exe -S c:\system.reg The above entry is loading the values conatined in 'system.reg' into your registry on startup. Open this .reg file in notepad and you may see the URL from the search bar. Whatever, my advice would be to remove this entry (using regedit) and remove/renmae the system.reg file. You may also notice a 'ie.reg' file in the root of C, I would also remove/rename this.
