I suggest you get Ad-Aware 6.0 (available at:
http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/ ). It has a free
download and will catch all the spyware/re-directs you
have infecting your registry. After running it, try
PopUpCop (available at http://www.popupcop.com ). It has
a free trial period. I use both of these and now have my
internet back the way I want it.

I've tried both of these. My problem is that the blocking is working too
well. I'm trying to find the registry entry(s) that block the redirection.

Go to Tools, Internet Options, Security tab....either
select the Default Level. That should set your level back
to Medium...then use PopUpCop and Ad-Aware to maintain
your sanity.
