IE6

[Guest]

I am having a bear of a problem with IE6. I am using IE6SP2 with updates,
until last Sunday. When I open IE, it comes up, but not page comes up.
Nothing. All I get is an hourglass. The menu bottons do not work. Example
is Favorites, it shows the favorites list but will not open any of the pages.
I have absolutely no idea what happened to cause this. Anyone have any
suggestions? This happens on my desktop. I am currently using my laptop to
try to correct the problem.
Thanks

Your PC might be infected with spyware. The page below details many fine
products that can help you remove spyware. I personally prefer Ad-Aware and
Webroot SpySweeper.

Thanks PA Bear and Donnie Broome
I appreciate the reply, but nothing has helped. I have tried reinstalling
XPSP2, earlier restore points, as far back as 6 weeks.
Thanks

PA Bear,
I am still having the same problem with IE. Is there a place where I can
get a complete list of .reg files that control IE, so that I may see what
..reg files I am missing? When this started happening, I deleted the
uninstall programs for the fixes. Could this be the problem?
Thanks
Len

I think I may have a browser hijacker. I have seen the name About:Blank.
Any solutions
