IE WON'T OPEN

[DONNA]

I'm using Win 98 and IE 6.0. Recently, every time I try to
open IE, it won't open. I've tried to remove pop-up
stopper as suggested by local cable company, but still does
not work. Tried to reinstall 6.0 as well. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.

Donna,
From Control Panel> Internet Options> Advanced> uncheck "Enable third party
browser extensions." That should allow IE to work.

You might also be able to browse and download programs from the address bar
of Windows Explorer.

Download and run Run CWShredder from
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html
CWShredder is only about 125 KB so it could be downloaded from another
machine onto a floppy disk if necessary.

Then download, install, *update* and run both of these programs:
Ad-aware from http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
Spybot from http://security.kolla.de/ (Remove items listed in red-others are
optional.)
Both programs should be updated after installation- before use.

You should re-enable browser extensions after the cleanup.
