IE Handling URL Wrongly

As of Internet Explorer 6.0/SP1, IE has been
handling URL's incorrectly. In IE's url address
bar if you do not put ("WWW") before the domain
name, IE acts if the domains itself does not exist.
If you try to go to a URL like ("sis.com / cert.org")
using the latest version of IE, it brings you to.

http://ca.search.msn.com/dnserror.aspx?FORM=DNSAS&q=sis.com
http://ca.search.msn.com/dnserror.aspx?
FORM=DNSAS&q=cert.org

These defects only occur with the IE and not other types
and version of other browsers. But these sites and many
others only exist and works with IE if you put ("WWW")
before the domain name. This itself is very inconvenient
and is a hassle to have to put the full URL just to get to
it via IE. "WWW" is only a sub-domain and should be
automatically added by IE. But then again loads of Web-
Servers are configured wrong. Due to allot of sites do not
work if you do/don't put "WWW".
 
Type in sis or cert and hit CTRL and Enter keys. AutoComplete will complete
the address with www and .com or .org.
