Search Companion Error in IE 6

[Guest]

Hello,

This one has me stumped.

I'm running IE6 with all of the latest patches. Whenever I navigate to a URL that doesn't exist I get an error message. The error is a Runtime Error saying that iexplore.exe "has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way." This error seems to happen when the Search Companion runs because the URL didn't exist.

I've tried uninstall/reinstall Internet Explorer, the script engine, and the Search Companion. Nothing seems to work.

Does anyone know what else I could try?

Thanks,
Steve

Steven,

Please remove your "Companion" (and all other possible junkware) using Add/ Remove Programs, and use www.google.com for your searches.

Additionally, you may want to:
