About a year ago I typed in www.drudgreport.com at work, on my break. Note the missing 'e' after the 'g'.

Up popped "SWEATY TEEN HONEYS WHO ----- FOR YOU!"

I couldn't close my browser fast enough.

This situation with Verisign is wrong. And has big implications.

With most of the DNS servers out there patching the wild cards out its only a matter of time before that the Sitefinder site is out of business. I for one put in a keyword block on the sites url in my router. If everyone did that it would take away a lot of Sitefinders traffic, even ISPs should be doing this at their gateways. While this won't fix the problems with spam filters and such, it will take away the market incentive for VeriSign to continue the service.

I just discovered this hijacking when I mistyped www.google.com as www,google.com (note the "," instead of a "." in the address I typed).

Imagine if you got a directory assistance (by a third party) everytime you misdialed the phone and got a number that was not in service.

I read about it here: http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/darnit_3.htm after it did not turn up in Spybot and Ad-aware searches of my system. THERE IS NO UNINSTALL. Does this happen with all browsers or just IE?
