This is occuring on my computer at work... It's a Gateway running
Windows XP Pro SP2 with all of the latest updates. This problem only
started recently:

When you go to the address bar and type in "www.yahoo.com" and press
enter/click go, IE takes you to msn.com. This is the only address that
I know of it does it to, and it does not do it to subdomains (i.e.,
mail.yahoo.com). The only way to get to the yahoo.com main page is to
click a link (found through google, etc) or set it as the home page.

Any ideas? HijackThis, AdAware and SpyBot all come up squeaky clean.
I've never seen this happen before, I'm really quite stumped. Also, a
side note, this does not happen to any other computer here in the
office... all computers are hooked up to the same network.

Hey,

Sorry to hear about your problems. In order to resolve the problem it'd
be good if we knew what the spec of you machine is as well as any system
security software you may have running.
