Ie6 won't browse

[Bill DeShawn]

Desktop icon doesn't have an OPEN option. But I can open from Start;
Program Files; Internet Explorer. I can get to my "home" (default) page,
but I cannot browse anywhere.

Does somebody out there have an idea what's going on?

2... You need to be sure your system is clean from malwares and Viruses by

It didn't work. The router works fine. Got another computer connected and
it's good.
Your links don't work because I can't browse.
Internet Explorer version 6.0.2900.2180 SP2

When I got this computer, they orinally put IE7 on here. Now, after some
big problems, and repairs, IE6 is on. It worked for a while, but is giving
me problems now.
