Address bar does not function

[mpbradley]

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.
