For the past two weeks, if I type in a certain website, in this case
chase.com, it displays cox.net. There are a few things I have tried and have
not been successful with. I have of course dumped my cookies and temp files.
I have done checks for a hijacker. At first I thought it might be that it was
just sending me back to my homepage, but I changed my homepage and it still
will direct me to cox.net when I type in chase.com in the address bar. What
further confounds me is that clicking on a link to chase.com works, accessing
my history will also allow me to get to chase.com from a prior visit. Even my
favorite works normally. It only occurs when I type the address into my
address bar and press either Go or hit the enter key. Any suggestions?
Does it also work as expected if you enter the full URL
e.g. use AutoComplete for web addresses to match
a previous use of it?
If so, that could be a symptom of a searchbar hijacking.
You may not be aware of it but by not using a protocol prefix
you are using AutoSearch (unless you disable it)
in which case what you enter may or may not be interpreted
the way you expect.
