Cannot find server

Hi.

IE6, latest service pack. LAN connection.

My IE worked fine until I ran a SpyBot, which removed some IE toolbars that
I no longer want. I now get "Page Cannot Be Displayed - cannot find server
or dns error" for all sites. My connection is fine as I can still view
sites through Netscape and, more bizzarly, even through *Windows* Explorer.

I tried the Reset Web Settings button on the Programs tab or IE Options but
to no avail. I also tried downloading the latest service pack, but this
made no difference (the update was only 21K or something).

I think what I need is to completely remove and reinstall IE, but I have a
feeling this is not possible. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Mike
 
Same EXACT issue with my IE. All the other browsers work,
but after running spybot, which was needed as I kept
getting ad-popups, IE bit the dust. This is a first for
me. I have ran Spybot before without ANY effect on IE.

ODD!!

Any solutions??
 
This sounds just like the problem I just posted. Now
there are at least two with this dilemma. Which SpyBot
did you run?
 
Spybot S&D 1.2

I am trying to go back and restore bit by bit, what spybot
has removed, and hopefully this will remedy the situation.
Something is up, because as I posted before this is the
first time that Spybot has disabled IE.

Mike, I know this is no help, but what you have is exactly
what has happened to me. I have a call into Spybot to see
what can be done. I have reinstalled IE with no sucess. I
have upgraded IE with no sucess.
 
Add another to your club! I've got the exact same
problem and I cannot figure out how to fix this!
 
I used same product and followed up the search and destroy
with immunize. I tried recovery from S&D and then backed
out all of immunized items--still no browser capability.
Guess I'll back up data files and install new OS (XP Home
to Pro) but some of discussions would indicate that will
not correct this/our issue. If not, I'm ready to do full
recovery.


If I could enter OEM support sites above Level 1, I would
try that. However, patience at this point will be gone
before they get me beyond the script that asks whether the
monitor is powered up!


Heading home--hope to see more tomorrow.

Thanks for response. B
 
SpyBot app is now 6CrashBot.

I have joined the club and have the same issue. used spybot as well
 
Success!!! Thanks for the link! How did you figure out
this is what was causing the issue??
 
Mike--am I correct in understanding that the link here has
a fix for inability to use browser?

is this fix for people who cannot access the internet at all because
of "cannot find server".

i have the problem where i can be on the internet and then something
goes flaky and i "lose" my connection and get the "cannot find server"
("The page cannot be displayed", "Cannot find server or DNS Error").
redialing into the ISP does not solve the problem and i have to reboot.

i run Spybot and Mcafee anti-virus so my system is clean.

will this fix solve my intermittent problem?

thanks!
