Links not working at popular web sites with second user profile

[Tom]

Using Windows XP, I set-up a second user profile. When I
use Internet Explorer 6.0 with my original user profile,
I have no problems. When I switch user accounts and open
Internet Explorer, I am finding that the links are not
working for anything other than the ads. This occurs in
Yahoo, Google, and alta vista sites. With some other
sites (like my home page www.comcast.net), all links work
fine. One solution that works is for me to use netscape
for the second user profile; however, I would prefer to
use Internet Explorer. Any help or advice out there?

If the search engines alone do not work, your system might be affected by
the QHosts trojan.
