CTRL + ENTER

[Toby Boogerd]

I use the shortcut key ctrl + enter to quickly open pages instead of typing
www.microsoft.com i type microsoft and use ctrl + enter. Well recently when
doing this (ctrl + enter) it will place www and .com, but then my browser
redirects me to this URL:
http://data.cybersearching.net/apps...eq=4c72d40e4d3ced7b8aeeef27f085897f&prt=NNMSH

this only happens when using the IExplorer shortcut. If I type
www.microsoft.com then it works fine. Also when this started happening I
noticed that if I click on any links in my browser that another browser
opens up, but it's blank and it just sits there, and no javascript popups
work either. The window will popup, but it's all blank and it sits there. I
do have NAV2003 running and up-to-date so I can hardly believe I have a
virus.

Thanks

Toby,
I had this exact problem. I fixed it today by running a program
called Ad-Aware. It detects spyware on your system and deletes it for
you. I had 155 spyware objects on my system and deleted all of them.
Now my keyboard shortcut works the way it's supposed to. Ad-Aware is
free so you can do a search for it.
