internet explorer

[Guest]

hi,
i have a problem and hope you can help me. i had a trojan and after long
hours i was able to get rid of it. but now when i enter a internet adress
(e.g. www.google.com) the systems tells me that it can't find the adress and
i should check if the path or the adress are correct. only when i enter
http://www.google.com the pages opens. (before the trojan it worked of course
with just entering www.whatever.com

what can i do about it?

Check
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\Prefixes]

If there is NO data value entry for WWW, add HTTP:// as the data value.
ie: "www"="http://"

Note you can save the registry key first by:
On the File menu, click Export.
In the File name box, type SaveKey, and then click Save.
Or create a system restore point prior to editing.
