    Having a problem when I punch in a web address. My computer is adding /?%20 to the address. For example, when I type "majorgeeks" and hit enter, it turns into "http:///?%20majorgeeks.com"
    If I use the search box from my home page it works fine. The problems is in my ie search box at the top of the screen.

    In Microsoft Windows, you can use the command ipconfig /flushdns to flush the DNS resolver cache. Open the command prompt and type the following:


    In Vista type cmd into start

    In XP type cmd into run

    Right click to run as administrator !



    - Start -> Run -> type cmd
    - in command prompt, type ipconfig /flushdns
    - Done! Your Window DNS cache has just been flush.


    After doing this download ccleaner from this link and run it

    This should help sort out your problem !
