ie6 www prefix
Hi there
i recently used spybot to remove some spyware and now find that when i type www._____ address i receive a message that the address cannot be found ...however if i type http://www i get the address no problem its not the end of the world but it is kinda annoying can anyone offer any suggestions? tried a restore but to no avail (can live with this rather than spyware)
thanks
Bill Snyder

Open the registry editor (Start|Run, enter regedit and click OK). Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\Prefixes. In the right pane make sure there is:
www REG_SZ http://
It sounds like that value has somehow been deleted.
