    Uninstall your browsers using Revo Uninstaller. Use advanced mode.

    Have a look under this registry key for "rogue" entries

    Default Programs - Remove a Listed Program

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RegisteredApplications

    Of course, you will back up the registry key before deleting/changing anything.

    I use revo to uninstall so maybe I forgot to select the advanced scan. Thank you for the help
