IE Explorer wanders off to some weird IP address / Smart dimmer dims unexpectedly

Hi All,

I have a Sony VAIO FE28B that is working normally except for two things:

1. Every now and then IE explorer 6 wanders off unexpectedly to the following URL: http://209.237.237.101/data/6q9c11pe4300Qs%3Fcli
and I end up seeing a Sony page for Google.

I do have the Google toolbar installed. Has any body seen this before?

2. After reactivating the laptop from hypernation/stand by, the screen comes back with the usual brightness but after a few minutes, it gets dimmed down to a very low brightness. I have played with the smart dimmer settings, and I have even disabled them, but to no avail.

I have seen some postings on this problem but they were inconculsive. They did mention something about updating the video driver. I have not been able to locate any new drivers for my GeForce 7400. Anybody seen this before?

Thanks All,
Yazan

Hi Yazan,

I would remove the toolbar, see what happens.

Sorry I have no idea about question 2.
