Ken,

Use your exploring windows utility and try this, it is safe to do. Go to your Windows folder and find the folder "Send To." Open this folder and find the item that looks like the thing you want to get rid of.

The "Send To" holds the items that appear in your mouse's right click context menu. If the item you want to get rid of is a shortcut (has a bent arrow on its lower corner) then right click this shortcut icon and find the program location it points to.

Find this offending piece of software and delete it and then delete its shortcut in the "Send to" folder. Before you delete the software you may want to check with your control panel Add/Remove section to see if it is listed as software you can have Windows remove. Probably it is not. Probably what you have is a shortcut stored in the "Send To" folder that refers to a small file that can direct you to a certain web site.

I've never done this, never had to, don't let neighbors show me "certain" web sites. Perhaps someone else more experienced can comment on my suggestion.
