I am running win98 second EDition with IE 6.0 SP1 with all
updates.

When I open the browser and type any website without
HTTP:\\ will fail.

For Example, I cannot type www.microsoft.com from the
browser. I have to type http:\\www.microsoft.com

Any IDeas? Thanks

Run the "Cool Web Search" Spyware remover Utility.

Unzip the tool make sure that all instances of IE and OE are closed,
hit the executable, follow the prompts.
