I was advised by Broni to come here with the issue I posted in the Internet Explorer forum as "InternetExplorer redials wrong URL", and to attach results of tests with the DDS tool. Those two files are copied below.
Since my posts in the other forum, I have been able to work around my original problem - having uninstalled the very tedious IE8, I find that IE7 does not have the problem of changing the URLs of some of the pages I try to navigate between on my family history site. (That site's support team had said that other IE8 users had found no problems - so initially I did not bother returning to IE7.)
If my problem is specific to IE8, a malware problem seems unlikely? But here are the logs anyway.
Thanks,
IANV
