WTF is up with MetaCrawler?

[Viper GTS]

Lately when I type in metacrawler.com into my browser it routes me to "http://37.com" which is annoying as hell. Usually after 3 or 4 times it quits, but what the hell is going on?

did you type in "meatcrawler" or some other type? Registering typoes has been pretty big. Many hope to capitalize on othe people's mistakes. Site like wwwyahoo.com are pr0n sites that hope to catch people who drop the dot. Check your history to see if you mistyped.

Bingo, there's the fix!

I have a sticky "a" key on my keyboard, & if you type in "metacrwler.com" you get... "http://37.com"

I feel like a moron now, but at least I know what the heck's going on. Strange thing was it was ONLY happening at work, which makes sense now since that's where the problematic keyboard is.

oddly enough it was only the second 'a' which was sticking, not the first one.
