redirect to lop.com

Normally, when i enter a wrong url eg yahoo.cm, a page not found is display by Internet Explorer 5. Now, it seems that IE will automatically redirect to lop.com. I do not know who change the setting, i try deleting any entry with lop.com in my win98 registy, but to no avail.
Any solution?

lop.com installs itself as your search engine if you download or use one of their packages. Here is the text from their web page.
============================
How did Lop.com become my search engine?

This could happen one of several ways.

You could have clicked the 'make start page' link on the main Lop.com webpage.


You could have downloaded and installed one of our many software applications. In the terms and conditions of any of our software products it is clearly stated that we grant you a free license to use the software and by installing the software on your computer you agree to use our search services in your web browser. Any and all changes made to your system are clearly stated in the terms and conditions and are fully uninstallable via the 'Help' then 'uninstall' option on any of our software applications. Additionally a separate uninstall program may be downloaded here
==============================

Go to lop.com and scroll down to where this text is found and click on the link to get the uninstaller.

Good luck
