hyperlinks unavailable links unavaliable

[Tom Docsavage]

This is happening to my machine. No hyerlinjs avaialable
when any apge ioens. Also when new browser window is
opend taht page is blank. Hve tried alol the fixes as
pointed out in nes group nopne work. I did find a file in
my internet cache when the browser opens called "core(1)"
A JAVA SCRIPT FILE. This file deletes curent script and
apparently reinstalls it own. Then goes on to track
activiy and browser url as descibe toward bottom of code.
the code follows. maybe this is what some oen has
fenerated in rediretion of web pages and browser
activity. Don't know much execpt looks illegal and like a
virus redirection and tracking code such as trojons etc.
If someone can read code in script could maybe figue what
is happening a forward on to MSoftie so they can fix it.
Code of teh file is podsted here below

This is happening to my machine. No hyerlinjs avaialable
when any apge ioens. Also when new browser window is
opend taht page is blank.

Use View Source to check if the page is really blank.
If there is some script in there or certain other coding
it may indicate that redirects aren't working.
Then you will have a more specific symptom to diagnose.

Make sure you have Allow META Refresh enabled (in Security tab)
Some sites use it for redirects and there are usually lots of redirects
associated with login pages.


Good luck
