Hi Alana,

Two ways to deal with this. The tweak program XQX Setup
(http://www.xteq.com/) has a setting where you can change the title
in Internet Explorer to one of your own choosing.
When this happened to me, though, I just ran a search in the
registry (using Regedit) for the word (in your case NetZero). There's
a setting in there for the title bar. When you find it, change it to one
of your choice (I used Powered by Sue) or just delete the words
Powered by NetZero (which I assume is what it says).
Also, the ability to "brand" the toolbar is lost when you upgrade the
product. When I went from IE 5.5 to 6.0, I lost my "powered by Sue"
line.
Hope this helps.
