Default Funny thing happens to my browsing

Hello all,

Sometimes when I typed "www.hotmail.com" into the IE6, I maybe ended up in
"www.hotmail.com.org", or going to "www.google.com" may take me to
"www.google.com.org" or something similar.

This happened a number of times on my PC. Not frequent, but it happened now
and then (maybe once or twice a month).

What's going on?? Is this problem occurs at the level of my PC, ISP or
domain name server?? Should I worry about it? What can I do?

Thanx in advance.

L & L

Sir/Mam,
this is looking like a problem at your own PC level, and needs to be
corrected.. It is very difficult to suggest you a solution sitting miles far
and without sittng on ur PC. I suggest you to please consult a software
engineer.

I hope I helped !!
