====I have this problem with IE6 on one of my machines that runs XP, every
time i open explorer it attempts to find the home page but closes within
about 4 seconds, this only happens when the computer is online. If the
computer is offline then there is no problem and the computer will let you
browse through any saved pages or enter the internet options. The virus
software here is completely up to date and has not detected any problem at
all. The only hint i may have and it may have nothing to do with it is that
one person opened an email about 4 days ago that only said "go away" in the
body. This was from a trusted source so it was opened. If anyone has any
ideas can they please help me...
