Address Bar
 

Hello,

When I type in the name of a site in the IE address bar
(e.g. google.com) I get the following
error, "res://mshp.dll/url_error.html"

I would then have to type in the http or www along with it
in order to get to the site. Is there a way to correct
this?

Hi Alan,

Seems that you may have been infected by some adware trojans - in simple
terms - a virus.

'mshp.dll' is usually associated with 3rd party adware programs which tries
to reset your browser's default home page without your permission.

Though you can hack the registry to remove this trojan, I would sincerely
suggest you to update your virus definitions and run a scan to remove it.

You may have a virus/spyware hijack

download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling
viruses are not present on your PC

Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the
