I have been getting a number of link errors on my site. One at least is from google where the link is to [url]www.projectperfect.com.au/pa.htmÂ[/url] instead of just pa.htm I have checked out all links on my site and they look OK. Has anyone else seen the  character added to the end of an address?
This one is driving me crazy. I have spent hours trying to find the cause.

It's a special character, in the form of a space. Remove all spaces from your urls!

Also check your logs, could just be a 'spammed from' URL
I get lots of them, just foreign letters etc to cause an error to show up in my logs so it looks like I am linking to the site in the UA - also password protect your logs so as this doesnt give the spammer the PR ranking (wont show up in search engines results).

might not be this, but is worth a check
