Error message when using the address bar

[Graeme Bower]

Suddenly, yesterday when typing an address into the IE
address bar (eg www.google.com) an error message appeared

Cannot find 'DCINSFBWJwww.google.com'. Make sure path or
internet address is correct.

This happens with all addresses. However if I type
http://www.google.com (or any other address), I can reach
the website with issue.

I have scanned for viruses etc. and checked the latest
virus fixes and so on with no luck. It does look a bit
like a virus may have done this but I can find no trace.

Any help would be much appreciated

Many thanks
