IE 6 cannot access any webpages

[Guest]

My IE 6 can't surf any webpages at all. I can get my email and update my virus definitions though. I installed MSN 9 and can surf webpages with that. I would like to fix my IE 6. I checked my connection in the internet options and all is fine there. I scanned with adaware, the cleaner, hijack this and the shredder. I tried a system restore and that didn't work either. Any suggestions

Hi HF_Bow

My IE 6 can't surf any webpages at all. I can get my email and update my

virus definitions though. I installed MSN 9 and can surf webpages with that.
I would like to fix my IE 6. I checked my connection in the internet options
and all is fine there. I scanned with adaware, the cleaner, hijack this and
the shredder. I tried a system restore and that didn't work either. Any
suggestions?Were you able to get access to the Internet with IE before? Are you getting
any error messages? If, so, what is the exact wording?

Have you tried repairing IE? If not, try the steps below and see if it
helps.

1. Close all Internet windows and programs, then the Click the Start tab
on the bottom task bar.
2. Click Settings

6. Click the Add/Remove tab on the dialog box under the window
7. When the Wizard window opens you should see a Repair Internet Explorer
8. Click the radio button or box next to it, then click OK
9. Let it run the repair

It is possible you may have parasites, spyware, adware,
malware, or hijackware on your system causing the problem.
Download and install, you *must* update the programs prior
to running to be sure they have the latest definitions, then
run the programs below. They are free and very effective. Be
sure to run both SpyBot and Adaware, as what one does
not detect the other may. It is important that you follow all
directions carefully:
