Cannot open internet site

[Hardik Shah]

Hi,

I sometimes get a message "Internet Explorer cannot open
internet site....... ". I am not sure under what
circumstances I get it, and am not able to reproduce it at
will. Sometimes the error shows up even after the page is
retreived.

Any ideas?

TIA,
Hardik

Eliminate spyware.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

Let AD-Aware Scan your system for advertising Spyware

and:

SpyBot-S&D

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.

More: This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.
