Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / IE 5.x / January 2004Problem with Address Bar
When ever I type any web address example www.microsoft.com Instead of putting the http:// in front of it. Mine now puts http://www.smart-finder.biz\www.microsoft.com Needless to say I end up at this smart-finder website How do I get rid of this so that it just puts http:// and that's it. Thank you - Michael This is caused by a parasite/spyware/malware on your system: Use Ad-Aware and/or Spybot Search & Destroy to remove it. Ad-Aware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ Spybot: http://security.kolla.de/ (Good site on how to install and use Spybot - http://www.tomcoyote.org/SPYBOT/) More information here: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm http://www.spywareinfo.com/ http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/Darnit.htm http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/ - runs a little script when loading page to check for common parasites  SignatureJon R.
