1. Go to IE tools, internet options, programs and use the option to reset the IE defaults. Reboot.
2. If that doesn't work, shut down IE and search for a *hidden* file called HOSTS (hosts.sam and lmhosts are sample files but are occasionally used in error). HOSTS is effectively a redirection file. Rename HOSTS to HOSTS.OLD -or- open using Notepad and remove any reference to the problem site/s (place a # at the beginning of the line or delete the line in its entirety).
3. You may also need to delete the following registry keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Search Bar
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Search Page
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Start Page
