Well, since I messed with my comp so much trying to fix it the past week (I didn't know it was a virus until the campus told me, just figured it was something else), I've noticed some weird stuff with IE. First and most importantly (at least for my convenience) is that I can't seem to get to websites without typing the http://www. in the address bar. Before, and I'm sure with most everyone, you could just type in like espn.com and get the page. But when I do that and hit enter, nothing happens. It needs the full URL. I have no idea how to change this and didn't even realize it was a setting.
Second, I can't seem to copy text from other programs (i.e., MSN, Word) and paste into the address bar, and vice versa. That can be a pain when trying to show someone a link. However, for some reason, I can copy and paste between AIM and IE.
Third, and this is relatively minor if not for the copy/paste problem, I can't click on links in MSN Messenger and get sent to a page.
I figure someone here will know.
