Thanks Chek,
This tool did the trick after I figured out that the
hio.dll file had attached itself to both the Explorer
process and another program called dd.exe. I was able to
remove it and got back my Internet Explorer -- turns out
that this thing takes over the default URL and search page
in Internet Explorer and doesn't allow you to reset it --
very annoying indeed!.
Thanks again,
Scott
