i.e. will not open any web pages any longer on my xp sys.
after spending time w/ the verizon dsl people i was able
to download netscape and this works fine. is there an easy
way to test or repair my i.e. program. i have tried to
download 6.1 from the mocro. site and i get a pop up
warning that reads i already have a newer version
installed. where can i start?
 
Don. I tried the download and it came back with all zeros
across the board. No change to the ie program. Thanks for
your help. Mike

Open the Internet Options applet in Control Panel
Uncheck "Enable third-party browser extensions" on the Advanced tab.
You may also have to set the Home Page to about:blank

Then eliminate any scumware.

Dealing with Unwanted Spyware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.
CWShredder is also available here:

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back

Do you have a proxy configured? Go to Internet Options/Connections/LAN Settings - all the check boxes should be unchecked.
 
thanks for trying to help. i have run spybot,adaware,and
cwshredder, which said "completely clean". i have tried
running sfc/scannow and that seemed to do nothing. is there
any thing else i can try to fix ie?

Did you update Ad-Aware and Spybot S & D before scanning?
Did you post your HijackThis log?
