Internet Explorer won't browse the internet.

[Rodney Brown]

Please help. I have a computer that is running Windows 98
SE. We downloaded and installed Internet Explorer 6 but
for some reason we can't uninstall it and it's not listed
in add/remove programs in the control panel. I have ran
Adaware and Spybot and removed the few trojans that it
found but I still can't browse the internet. I ran the
repair for Internet Explorer 6 and it acted like it
repaired something but it still doesn't work. Do you have
any suggestions on what I can do to either get rid of
this and/or reinstall it?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Rodney Brown

1. Check if a program running in the background is interfering with Internet
Explorer. Temporarily disable all Norton programs, including anti-virus, win
doctor, recycle bin protect, and clean sweep. Disable any firewall or
ad-blocker.

2. Perform a repair of Internet Explorer. From Control Panel select
Add/Remove Programs. Scroll down to Microsoft Internet Explorer and
highlight it. Click on the Add/Remove button. When the IE Tools menu comes
up, select Repair. Click OK.

3. If repairing does not work, uninstall and reinstall IE. At the same IE
Tools menu, select "Restore the previous Windows configuration". Then
reinstall Internet Explore.

You can also access the IE Toolbar by clicking Start > Run and type

rundll32 setupwbv.dll,IE6Maintenance "C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\Setup\SETUP.EXE" /g "C:\WINDOWS\IE Uninstall Log.Txt"

4. Use IE Eradicator to completely delete Internet Explorer.

Make sure you have downloaded the IE6 setup files first, but not loaded.
Backup your Favorites folder.
