On different web sites i go to, it randomly will redirect the website and go to http:/// which is a blank , error page, and it does that every single time unless i can manage to hit the stop button quickly. I was wondering if anyone knew how fix this. I have also tried deleting and reinstalling IE 6, but still did not work. Any help would be greatly appreiciated.
