Unwanted name in IE8

I have been setting up my wife's fairly old Dell laptop to access the internet for the very first time. We each have a user account on it. When in her account, if you open IE8, the webpage title shows in the top bar of the window and always has the words 'Tiscali 10.0' at the end of the title.

When I open IE8 in my user account this doesn't happen which I find really odd. We both use the same Virgin connection and we have never used Tiscali ever, although I think the laptop came with a Tiscali sign up wizard put on their by Dell ... it was one of the first things I ever deleted.

I know it's trivial, but seeing that 'Tiscali 10.0' in every web page title is driving my OH nuts.

Does anybody know how to get rid of it? I've looked through all the settings I can think of with no success.

    Thanks jenny, that's exactly what I did before I saw your reply and found the necessary entry and modified it. All is well with the world now :j
