I have this wierd thing happening - there are 2 questionable sites that for SOME reason absolutely WILL NOT GO AWAY from my address bar & will automatically show up if I type even the first letter of the site. I've erased history, done the standard clears, downloaded a more recent version of explorer, even used some history cleaning software but it's like it's permanently IN THERE!!! Any idea what I can do???

Let us take a closer look at what is running on your PC. We'll need you to use a free diagnostic tool (HiJackThis) and post a log back here with the results.

Click the HijackThis Guide in my signature, download it and follow the instructions in the guide.

Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, DO NOT delete or modify anything yet! Someone will be along to tell you what steps to take after you post the contents of the scan results.
