IE will not open certain webpages

[mykenyce]

the message:
Internet Explorer cannot open the internet site
http://www.hollywoodvideo.com/
operation aborted

the webpage loads, but then that popup message is
presented. thanks

I recently started having the exact same problem. IE will load and open to the site's home page sometimes (other times it's fine) but if, for example I click on a link to another page on the site or try to log on to the site the message pops up. This happens on random sites. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this as it is VERY frustrating

There's a good possibility that this is being caused by a third-party
program (adware, spyware, parasite).
