I have recently upgraded to XP and ran Spybot Search and
Destroy to delete some suspected spyware on my machine.
Now I have to type in http:// for every website or it
won't find the site. I used to just type www.webaddress
and it was fine. Any ideas? This is a real pain in the
butt.

You can check these keys and edit them, if necessary, as follows:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\
DefaultPrefix default="http://"

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\
Prefixes
"ftp"="ftp://"
"gopher"="gopher://"
"home"="http://"
"mosaic"="http://"
"www"="http://"
