Anyone noticed this also?

When I'm browsing suitable expired .org domains for checking them out sometimes I don't end up on the URL I entered (well, much more copy and pasted) into MSIE. E.g.:

I type in http://www.this-is-a-cool-domain.org and the browser then ends up at http://www.this-is-a-cool-domain.org.com
When I enter the domain again I end up at the right place and I am prompted to set http://www.your.com as homepage!!!

I think this started after I installed the beta version of the google tool bar.

Anyone can share this?

When I want to leave the site I get prompted to set your.com as homepage!!!

And this shows after new entering the URL... that's the way it should be!

Well, why are you getting redirected to a .org.com domain when you enter an expired .org domain?
