How do I get my error messages back?

Factual Questions
1

Computer question for you all:

I seem to have somehow picked up some spyware or something in my surfing travels, and it has hijacked my error pages (DNS/Server error, 404, etc). I don’t know why, but it bothers me, and I want my plain IE pages back. (I’m using v. 6).

Example: I typed in an address which I know doesn’t exist: bahimasheep.com. And I end up getting this: http://www.huntbar.com/Search/Search_404.asp?aff=1453&Q=http://bahimasheep.com/&Code=-2146697211

It’s a trivial little thing, but it’s bothering me. And I don’t believe that refreshing does anything anymore - I’m guessing my browser gets redirected to the error page, so I just refresh that.

Anyone wanna help me out here?

Install Ad-Aware or Spybot - Search & Destroy. Either one will remove spyware and adware from your system.

Afterwards, open IE and go to Tools|Internet Options|Advanced, scroll down to the Search from the Address bar heading, and select Do not search from the Address bar. This will give you a plain error message if you type in an invalid URL.
