    A moment ago I typed www.majorgeeks.com (IE6) I ended up on another page called majorgeeks.com. Is this normal? Have I got spyware or something? It also offered sofware dowloads but had a "corporate look" to it, Ie blocked some pop-ups and an adrevenue? cookie. Does this make sense?

    If its the site I'm thinking of you will have missed the G out MajorGeeks.com and it does indeed take you to a different site, it takes you like Adryn said to sites that are predomently search sites that prey on typos.
