    Spybot Search&Destroy solves that problem.
    Configure Spybot to Immunize your computer:
    Click on Immunize and check on "Enable permament blockage
    of malicious addresses in Internet Explorer.
    next convert to Advanced Mode in Mode menu, go to
    Tools\Resident\and check on Resident S&D Helper and
    Resident TeaTimer, to block malicious downloads and to protect
    your system configuration... (Update Spybot before the first scan)
