Okay, you know how a site's address will show up in the address bar if you begin to type? Normally, clearing the history fixes this problem. But I ran into one of those situations where I was bombarded with porn pop-ups, and somehow, these things managed to get into my computer and stay. So, no matter what I do, this one address will show up whenever I start to type in an address. Is there any way I can make it go away? Thanks.

have you tried deleting your temp internet files and cookies?

I just changed the setting in "Autocomplete", so that typed addresses don't show up at all. Still, I know the site's still in there, and if I were to change that setting back, it would continue to haunt me. Is there a way to eliminate it completely? Clearing history, cookies, temp, do not work. Thanks.
