Help with IE and search page

Somehow I managed to install a program or something that has set the IE search page, the one that automatically comes up when you type in an invalid URL, to lop.com. I noticed that my start page was set to lop.com so I set it back to blank, but it still goes to that page.

I searched through the registry and found a couple of instances of lop.com being used as the search page, but setting these to something else didn't solve the problem.

Has anyone else had this happen with the same page or some other crappy ad type stuff? If so, anyone know how to fix it without reinstalling XP? Can I uninstall and reinstall IE maybe?
 
Download and install Ad-Aware, and search on google for lop.com or something to see if you can come up with info on this apparent spyware.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
