For anyone who wants to know what happens when they are redirected to site
vrape.hardlove when they don't type http:\\ in front of the URL in the
address bar:

It's all in the registry:
Start regedit and search for 'vrape.hardlove' .

You will encounter it tens of times

Check keys
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\DefaultPrefix]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\Prefixes]

Do the same for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

This shows how inferior Microsoft Internet Explorer's security really is.
Dozens of weak spots.

BE CARERFUL WITH changing REGISTRY SETTINGS!
