HTTP 500 internal server error

[Ellen]

I have installed MaAfee Personal Firewall. When I went to
hackerwatch.org to register I recieved HTTP Internal
Server error Interner Explorer. This happened on another
site that I was registering at. When I hit the submit
button the error message comes up. Does anyone know how
this started and what to do? I am also running Spy-Bot.
Thanks ahead of time for helping.
Ellen

You cannot log on to a Web site or complete an Internet transaction, or you
receive an HTTP 500 (Internal Server Error) Web page
Programs that use Wininet functions to post data (such as a user name or a
password) to a Web server retry the POST request with a blank header if the
Web server closes (or resets) the initial connection request.
Note A POST request has a blank header if its content length is set to 0 or
is empty.
Sometimes, this behavior prevents another reset from occurring and permits
authentication to complete. However, you may receive an HTTP 500 (Internal
server error) Web page if the Web server must have the POST data included
when Wininet retries the POST request.
