Annoyed with Domain Lander and Auto Search

[David M. Clark]

I have been trying to turn off the annoying Domain
Lander/Search function when a URL is not found or cannot
be displayed. I have gone into the tools/options menu
and clicked on "do not search from address line' but it
makes not difference and also does not remain clicked
when I start another browser section.

Any help turning off this annoying feature?

Dave

This to me is a new parasite. Get help from this forum.

Go to http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads.php#det
Download "Hijack This!" [freeware] or download direct (below):
http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip

If you get a 404 error or Access denied, try:
http://216.180.252.218/~spywareinfo.com/downloads/tools/hijackthis.zip

Unzip, double-click "HijackThis.exe" and Press "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button.
Click: "Save Log" (generates "hijackthis.log")

Next, HijackThis | Config [button] | Misc Tools [button]
Click: Generate StartupList log [button] (generates "startuplist.txt")

Next, go to the below location:
