I'm constantly getting the dreaded "this page cannot be
displayed" error on IE6. The odd thing is that it
happens almost at random but probably about 70% of the
time. One thing I have noticed is that when this error
usually occurs, it changes the original address in the
address bar like this;

what was typed in: www.google.com
what will be displayed: http:///? www.google.com

This is just an example, but every time the address will
change to the ?%20 at the front when the error occurs.
It's making the internet almost useless, PLEASE HELP!
I've tried running every virus software and ad-aware to
clean this out, but nothing seems to work. Thanks and
please email me for advice!

If changing your view/Encoding does not solve the issues, check for
parasites.

IE 6.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

Let AD-Aware Scan your system for advertising Spyware

or:

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.
