Hi Davy,
Seeing as you didn't say, I have to ask the obvious - have you done complete virus and spyware scans of your computer? If this is something loading with Windows, then it may be best to do both a virus scan, and a spyware scan, with Ad Aware and / or Spybot, in safe mode. Come back to us if you've done that and are still having problems.

It doesnt look like theres a simple way, a bit of reg editing involved but tread carefully and you should hopefully be ok :)
