When you misstype a URL does it take u to MSN search?
 

I may do it about 3-10 times a day.. pisses me off, everything when I misstype it takes me to some gay ass MSN DNS Error page...why cant Microsoft just guess what i misstyped like the 0 in .c0m or something and help me out :c(

Microsoft is getting paid, don't doubt it.

Well today this happened to me twice allready:

typed www.google.com to the address bar and I was taken to MSN Search page where was link to www.google.com so I clicked it and it took me to google.com

I made a post about this a while ago. Microsoft are skimming type in traffic. I have no doubt about it! The amount of times i've typed a url absolutely perfectly, and i've been taken to that page, are ridiculous!

You might notice, that sometimes it suggests a few other sites with similar domain names? Makes you wonder if those are PPC or something?

"The amount of times i've typed a url absolutely perfectly .."

.. same here! it all started after the xp SP1 update ...

take off the "friendly" error messages in ie, stops the crappy ms 404 errors and such too...

You laugh now. But wait till MS turns the skim-0-meter up to 95% and steal the internet from Al Gore! Then who'll be laughing?!

Im not sure if it helps but you can change this event. Instead of msn, you can direct traffic to other sites like Google or Yahoo.

Resistance is futile.

Never happened to me, but then again I hardly ever use IE.

Tools: Internet Options: Advanced : Searching from the Address Bar : Do not search from the address bar

There is your fix.

I think Microsoft would do a better job running the internet than Al Gore. He's had his day in the sun.

Easy solution, don't mistype urls?

It takes you to that page even when you correctly type a URL sometimes.
