I'm having this issue: everytime i tries to enter search.msn.com in my IE6, it will redirect to a site called search.xeroand.com (something like that)

I checked at other computers, they all had no trouble with entering the MSN search site. So i uninstalled the IE6 and reinstalled it, still same thing.

I'm running win98.

that site is pissing me off.

Hi,
I am not sure what you are refering to here.

Are you saying that entering "search.msn.com" into the address bar redirects you.

If so, try typing the following;

? msn

Regards.

ps. Have you run SpyBot?

I am not a number. I am a free man!

Try both PestPatrol and SpyBot as Win98User suggested. If you are familiar with the registry do a search in the registry for both the redirected URL and DNS. Zero Mistakes = Zero Experience
And Boy do I have experience !
