I'm using Internet Explorer 6 with windows XP.

Before my machine was infected with some sort of
spyware/ad ware (which I got rid of), I was able to get to
any web site simply by typing in the domain name and the
extension example: vaxxine.com but since I got rid of the
spyware, I now have to type inf the full path/address in
order to get to any and all web sites (example)
http://www.vaxxine.com instead of just vaxxine.com. Is
there some sort of setting in IE that I inadvertantly
turned off or changed ?

I should also mention that auto complete is engaged and I
am still having to type in the complete internet
address/path in order to navigate to any web sites.

Thanks in advacne for your help.

Using Regedit, browse to the following registry key and make sure the noted
setting is correct:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoComplete]
"Append Completion"="yes"

also see the following values:

"Use AutoComplete"="yes"
"AutoSuggest"="no"
