Archived from groups: alt>comp>virus (more info?)

Hello,

It appears that I may have a problem with my Internet Explorer. Here
are the details.

I have Internet Explorer version 6.0 on a Dell XP computer. My e-mail
(Outlook Express) works just fine.

Here are the symptoms. I type in a website (e.g www.msn.com). On the
status bar, it appears that IE is performing an expansion of the web address
(e.g. www.www.msn.com) and also of all the extensions possible (e.g.
www.www.msn[.com][.edu][.org][.net]). Finally, the title bar says, "Cannot
find server".

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

-- Mike
