Tom,
   It was the Mozilla broswer that I was using with
the linux system that showed that the same address to
citibank.com for IE was being directed to some website
in russia but you could not see that with the windows
IE combination.   Same problem occurred with an ebay
link.  What happens is that certain characters in the
web url are not able to be displayed  by IE and any
characters after that are not displayed but the
directions are still read by the broswer. Until
microsoft fixes the problem we all need to be careful
unless we use an alternative.
Mistrust all links requesting confidential
information.
If there is a hole in microsoft browser I am guessing
that any broswer could have a problem.   It just takes
a hacker to figure it out.   regards gary

Mistrust Microsoft products.  They are the core of the
problem.  And
there are
lots of alternatives that are free, and better, and
faster, and lots
smaller.

I make the offer again.  Anyone that would like help
installing a
non-Microsoft
browser, i.e. Mozilla, Opera, etc., or a non-Microsoft
mail client,
i.e.
Pegasus, Eudora, etc., please contact me.
