Hello,

Google search brought me to your forum when I asked it about this, but I could find no answers.

If I mistype a URL into my IE6 browser, I occasionally end up at a page which says only:

Hello, I am the new Web~db3!!!

This smells like malware to me. Mistaken URLs should guide me back to google, and partial URLs (such as typing simply "CNN") should take me to that website anyway.

What's the deal and how do I fix it?

there are many webpages out there that were created specificaly to capture trafic from mistyped urls...

Do not assume that a misstyped url will give you a default action such as take you to google...:)
