We stumbled on a junk site by accident while web surfing. I wasn't on the computer at the time, so I'm not sure what happened. But now when you right-click on Internet Explorer screen, a menu option (which is a link to that web site) has been added. We're using Win XP with IE 6.0. Now whenever we use IE, that annoying web site link shows up as one of the options whenever we right-click. Does anyone know how to get edit the menu that pops up when you right click in Internet Explorer?

Just to clarify, the menu I am talking about usually consists of "back", "forward", "save background as", "set as background", "encoding", "print", "refresh", etc.

Any help is greatly appreciated, as I have no idea how to get rid of this. Thanks in advance.

Try scanning for spyware, and see if anything new has been added under Add/Remove Programs that can be uninstalled.

Thanks for the suggestions... but it's no use. There must be some way to edit that menu though. I guess worst comes to worst, I'll format the computer...

Did you run the update function for spybot? The initial install will only give a third of the targets out there.
