Malicious Favorites
How can I delete malicious web sites from my favorites list in IE. Right clicking on icons in the list like casino online, online gaming, cool stuff, web hosting, internet gifts, to name a few, does nothing. They don't appear in Organize Favorites either. I've searched in the registry but haven't had any success so far. Any ideas?

They should be located in x:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\favorites

Have you run any spyware scanners like Ad-Aware SE and Spybot: Search & Destroy yet?
If you did and those entries are still there, you may need to run Hijack This! and post the log here. Cricket

They don't appear in any folders anywhere.

I've run Ad-Aware SE but it sounds like I need to run another one like Search & Destroy. I was hoping someone would know where Microsoft IE stores this stuff.
