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.
