My internet 6 sp1 explorer will not contact any site. I
had to use kazaa to get netscape so that I could browse. I
have tried to reinstall it and I keep getting the message
that it detects a newer version and cannot continue. I did
take it out and it is not showing in my add/remove.
Windows update is still working on its own but it hasn't
helped me with IE6. How can I get it repaired HELP PLEASE
I don't like Netscape as well.

You might want to reinstall IE6. Before you do that,
download another browser from download.com. There is a
great one called SlimBrowser, it's superior to IE. Then
you need to change the registry value by using regedit
(Start, Run, type in regedit, click OK) Then locate the
following site

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software, Microsoft, Installed
Components, 44BBA848-CC51-11CF-AAFA-00AA00B6015C

Click on IsInstalled click on Edit , then Modify and
change the value to 0
Download IE6 SP1 at this site
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/.../critical/ie6s
p1/default.asp
Reboot the machine. If you are unsure of some of the
steps, send me an email and I'll explain them in detail.

Hi,
Most likely your system is infested with parasites from using Kazza.
