IE 5 & 6 Browsers Cannot find page

S

Stevens

When I open IE6 browser, I get message that "cannot find
page." I later uninstalled the IE6 browser, and
reinstalled it by upgrading from the original IE5.
However, neither of these two browsers can open any website.
Please help!!

Hi,
Assuming that the OS is Windows 98 or 98 SE and that settings for connecting
to the ISP are correct...
First try running LSP Fix from http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm

If unsuccessful with that, check for malware. Try CWShredder, Ad-aware,
Spybot and the other at programs named and explained at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that
page.

You may have to run LSP Fix after removing malware.

The malware removal programs can't remove everything. You may have to post a
