IF You Use IE read this URL for sure,see below

Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites
thanks to: Carol J for this link

Open Internet Explorer to a Blank Page
Create a new Desktop shortcut
In the command line, (highlight and paste the below)
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -nohome
Name the shortcut: (example) IE6 Blank
From now on you can paste a saved URL without loading your ISP software, etc.
You can also drag this shortcut into your Quick Launch area.
Note: this is the same as setting your Home Page to: "about:blank"
Ad-Aware users, setting your page to "About:Blank" causes a false
CWS detection.
