Microsoft advocates TYPING IN url's.. http://support.microsoft.com/d...ult.aspx?scid=kb;%5Bln%5D;833786
"Do not click any hyperlinks that you do not trust. Type them in the Address bar yourself."
And: Microsoft resorts to Java:
"Use a JScript command in Internet Explorer. In the Address bar, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
javascript:alert("Actual URL address: " + location.protocol + "//" + location.hostname + "/");
To verify website addresses..
The best reccomendation: Use another Brower! (and operating system if you can)

Pet peeve: JScript is MS's version of JavaScript, not their version of Java.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
