I have IE6 configured to use Yahoo as a search engine. If I type in a search term into the IE address bar it will give me Yahoo results.

When I type in a misspelled domain name, IE is now displaying a page from VeriSign saying there is "no web site at that address" with suggestions for the correct URL.

Why and how am I being redirected to VeriSign during the name resolution process? It's not configured in my IE. If I type in a completely non-existent domain name it'll just give me the IE error page.

The site I'm trying to reach isn't even hosted with VeriSign.

Any thoughts?
