IE6 and SAHagent

[Steve]

Hello,

I'm running Windows XP Home version (Dell computer).

I removed the Adware.SAHAgent files from my registry the
other day and now when I open IE6, I get the "The page
cannot be displayed"/"Cannot find server" message. So far
that appears to be the only glitch. I have no problems with
a different browser (I'm using Mozilla Firebird as I write
at this moment).

Problem with IE6? Can I just download and install it again?

Or, in spite of my care, did I do something stupid in the
registry that only affects IE6? Hope that's not it,
because I didn't back up the registry (that would make me
the problem).

Thanks in advance for any help.

Here's the Symantec site that instructed me on the SAHagent
stuff:

i am having the same problem with WIN2000. IE works fine,
as long as there are no pop-up or 'open in new window'
content. It does not work properly when opened from the
tray or desktop, so to open it, I use a regualr folder, and
then type the address there.
