Can't Find Pages

Whenever I try to load certain web pages and they won't load, my IE 6.x
browser defaults to some 3rd party search page. I would rather that my
browser default back to the regular "Cannot Find Page" message. I have no
idea where to change this and get rid of the 3rd party URL that my browser
goes to when it can't find or load a page. Does anyone know how I can
change this? Both my XP and W2K computers do this, they're both IE 6.x.

Thanks!

Tim...

remove the spyware that has integrated itself with IE. Get Spyware Search
and Destroy.

Re: Can't Find Pages

Like Thor said. Head on over to:
http://www.safer-networking.org/

And pick up SpyBot S&D(Search and destroy). It's an anti-spyware program
that'll poke around for almost every known spy/ad program that can
integrate itself into IE, and remove them and immunize you from them.

Also, get a better browser. Use Firefox (Also known as Firebird/Phoenix):
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
