I have recently updated my computer and am running IE Explorer 6. When
I type in an address into the address bar and hit enter, the browser
does not respond. If, however I type a site in as a search, it sends
me directly to the requested site. Example is www.ebay.com does not
work, but type in "ebay" and hit enter and it takes me right to the
site.

I have run all of the recent updates through microsoft and I have run
spybot and adaware in addition to my antivirus software.

The only thing that has worked, temporarily, is going to a restore
point at an earlier time. As soon as the updates are installed through
microsoft, the problem returns.

Any help here will be greatly appreciated.

Problems in Windows Explorer or the Windows shell after you install
security update MS06-015 (15 Apr-06)
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/918165

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-015
Vulnerability in Windows Explorer Could Allow Remote Code Execution
(908531)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../ms06-015.mspx has
been revised to v1.2 to reflect the issues in KB918165.
From the FAQ section:
"On Tuesday, April 25, Microsoft will issue a targeted re-release of
the MS06-015 update."


Now may not be the time to learn Regedit.
I suggest you use a .reg file already done for the purpose.

http://patch-info.de/WinXP/Downloads...are-To-Web.zip

Unzip it, extract the .reg file to a folder, right-click it and select
Merge and confirm when asked.
