IE dose not accept partial url addresses

S

Stephen Lo

I use ie 6 SP1 in Win98, I also have the following entery in the
registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Main\UrlTemplate]
"1"="www.%s.com"
"2"="www.%s.org"
"3"="www.%s.net"
"4"="www.%s.edu"
"5"="www.%s.us"

But ie dose not accept partial address entered in the url address box.
When I enter a partial address such as
yahoo, msn, google... in the address bar ie dose not scan common domains
for a match and dispalys the webpage.
Instaed I get a "502 Bad Gateway" page saying:

Bad Gateway
The following error occurred:
Code: 
 The host name was not found during the DNS
lookup. Contact your system administrator if the problem is not found by
retrying the URL.

How could i solve this problem and make ie accepts the partial
addresses.

Thank you for your response!!

Stephen,

Have you tried an IE Repair? KB194177

It would re-initialize those values and many more.

The article doesn't warn you sufficiently IMO about how to prepare
for this procedure. If the repair is going to succeed it is going to cause
a reboot; so you might as well have all other applications closed first.
Further the main repair procedure doesn't occur until sometime in the
middle of the boot; so I have also suggested that you disable any security
programs (such as virus scan) so that they have no possibility of being
active and interfering with the repair.

Both of these trojans will cause havoc with some search engines.

http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/delude.shtml

NAME: Delude
ALIAS: Trojan.BAT.Startpage.a
Delude is a trojan that is available on a web page. The web page contains a
code that uses a vulnerability in the Internet Explorer (MS03-032) to
execute.
More information about the vulnerability, including a fix, is available from
Microsoft at:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/security_bulletins/ms03-032.asp
VARIANT: Delude.A
The HTA code available on a web page downloads a file "partyboy.exe" from an
ftp site and runs it. This file is is packed with UPX. It is a batch file
which was compiled to executable binary (".exe") using a BatToExe tool.
When executed, it changes the Internet Explorer start page to find-now.info.
It prevents access to the most major search engines such as Google, Yahoo,
Lycos, MSN and AltaVista.
