Hi

I've got a problem with my IE6 browser: everytime there is a 404 error or any other error (page not found, site not available, etc), instead of showing me the usual page with the error type and number it gets redirected to some site called www.internet-optimizer.com, here's the link I obtain,

http://www.internet-optimizer.com/Help/NavigationError/?e=ERR404&u=http%//www.imagestation.com/mypictures/albums/index.html21

it's very annoying and most of all unwanted, I tried to reset all the IE settings but it's still there!
Do you think it's some type of spyware or little shitty virus, and more important, how can I make it go away!
Thanks in advance
Newton

Definitely seems like some kind of spyware, download http://security.kolla.de/index.php?lang=en&page=download, update before scanning.

it can be a spyware thing... run Ad-Aware to clean your computer from spyware. http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

Its definitly spyware. Here is a page that describes it and also provides a manual removal technique although I also use Ad-aware and that seems to remove it too. Actually I use Ad-aware plus and that stops it getting onto the pc in the first place.
