Default browser search is gone!

[Alf]

I'm using IE6, normally if i type in an incorrect url in
the address bar, if it doesn't exist, the browser will
open a default page and suggest a similar url. But now
it doesn't, it only gives an error page "the page cannot
be displayed", also, the url in the address bar will
change to (say for example, i type in
http://www.ksajdfkdsjld.com) http:///?%
20www.ksajdfkdsjld.com In another words, an extra /?%20
everytime the url doesn't exist.

Any idea why? Is the browser corrupted?

IE 6.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
