When I now click the drop down on the Internet Expoler's
website address bar, all past typed in adresses start
with "http://ehttp.cc/?" then the normal 'www.whatever'
What does this mean? I've never seen this 'prefix' before.
Funny thing, this did not occur with www.microsoft.com.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.
