I am having a problem with Google.com search on Internet
Exporer and ANY HELP IS HIGHLY APPRECIATED.

When I go to Google.com and submit any word for "Web"
search for some reason I am being forwarded to
kewordpointer.com and that web is down. Now when I click
on submit button with empty search box it doesn't happen.
Also, it doesn't happen when I do any other search (i.e.
Images or Groups) and when I do an Advanced Search.
Also, that Happens Only on IE and even when I copy the
Google page into Front Page and do search I am OK>

So something is wrong with IE (cookies or something).

PLEASE HELP!
 
EJ,
Did you look in Add Remove? (to uninstall)
Most likely it's a bogus IE addon ......

Thanks Mike,

You heat right on the target.

There was a "...bogus IE addon..." called "IE Keyword
Update". This would be very usefull for anyone who
experiences the same problem.

Thanks again!

P.S. I already bookmarked the mvps.org for future
reference.
