(REPOST) IE6 continually reloads pages by itself

[COTW Webmaster]

IE6 seems to be getting into an infinite loop of reloading various random
webpages. I've done the windows update thing and updated to SP2 with no
change. I haven't seen any commonality to the pages that it will get caught
in this loop with.

Any ideas as to what would cause this and how to fix it? It is making using
the internet virtually impossible. I may soon have to switch to another
browser if it continues.

Thanks!

Hi COTW Webmaster

You have a hijacker, malware, spyware or parasites on your system that can
cause this problem. In addition to running your updated anti-virus program,
you should do the following to be sure none of these are present on your
system. Follow all instructions carefully:

Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
Be sure to run CWShredder, Ad-aware and Spybot.
Also be sure to use the HijackThis. Please do not post your log to this
newsgroup, but to the SpywareInfo or the Aumha HiJackThis forums
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30, to allow the experts there to
evaluate your log and advise you of the necessary steps to clean your
system.

CAUTION!!!!! Before you try to remove spyware using any of the programs
below, download a copy of LSPFIX from any of the following sites:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
(if your OS is Win2k or XP) The process of removing certain malware may kill
your internet connection. If this should occur, this program, LSPFIX, will
enable you to regain your connection.

Also, get a copy of WINSOCKFIX available at:
