There is probably some kind of virul infection on your machine, go here and do an online scan trendmicro (http://uk.trendmicro-europe.com/consumer/products/housecall_launch.php) the scan name is "housecall" and download adaware personal 1.05SE from www.lavasoft.com.
You might need to run some scans in safe mode, have a read of this thread for some information on working in safemode.

It's most likely spyware. Use these two programs to scan for it. Make sure you update them before scanning.

Adaware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/
Spybot: http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=download

I don't suspect it is the case, but these won't hurt; online AV and trojan scans:

Housecall AV: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
Trojan Scan: http://www.windowsecurity.com/trojanscan/checksystem.asp

Open your Favorites folder in Windows Explorer and delete them.

Also, you should uninstall no-adware and use a reputable anti spyware application, if you are still using it. Install and use the programs Force Flow suggested and use this this to clean out your temp folder etc...
http://www.ccleaner.com/

You will have to remove the favorites items as glc said. Do that by going to Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/View. Select Show hidden files and folders. Then go to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Favorites. Delete the ones you want out.

Jadeybaby,do I know how you feel, I meant to put the icon after the comma but I don't know how to get it there. Anyway lop is a back door Trojan,the worst one is C2lop. I actually have to thank the C2lop for my education because after I figured out that if I took an axe or sledge hammer to the computer the only one that would lose is me,so after I got down off the palm trees I started my quest on driving everyone crazy with questions so in order to get rid of me I found the answer. Last May Spybot developed the answer or remedy, #1 is Spybot, #2 is Spybot in advanced mode, and then do as GLC and delete it out of you favorites. When you use Spybot in advanced mode don't do as I did and just use it, as the saying goes, read the info section,because Spybot in advanced mode is like Pac-man after Mrs. Pac-man in the closet. It will clean out your files as clean as a whistle, so you have to really save everything you want to keep. One other issue is that it being a Trojan,and this is personal, because it happened to me, you might have to write down the file type or extension and go into the registry, and I mean deep into the registry to get all of it. I hope this helps,Chiquito!!!

What I done is go to the History button on the menu or tool bar and right click on it. There it has some options for add and remove. In the end I had to go to the registry, but if you do be very, very careful if you aren't familiar with it. This is also where you start getting spiritual. You can go with me to the Church of the BACKUP. I had to learn the hard way to do backup and backup!!! My friend I can understand how helpless you feel.
I actually thank the spammers because it forced me to learn a whole lot of stuff that I wouldn't of otherwise. If this doesn't work post again and I'll try to go through this with you, ok. Chiquito!!!
