Not able to load some pages

[Robert Graham]

Looking for some help. Running IE 6 sp1 on XP Pro. When I click a link on
most web pages I get a search page
(http://updates.searchmadesafe.net/404.php). Never had this problem with
earler versions of IE. The strange thing about this is that using the
browser via Microsoft Money, I don't seem to have this problem.
Thanks
Bob Graham

Browser hijacker parasites can cause this.

Get Ad-Aware available from
http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/ or
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ and SpyBot available from
http://tomcoyote.org/SPYBOT/ and update their reference files
through the Online update function. Run them independantly and select all
items and remove.
You may have to reboot and rerun a couple of times to completely remove it.
Also run the Immunize function to
prevent these nasties from installing again.

Install a good HOSTS file.
Blocking Ads, Parasites, and Hijackers with a Hosts File.
Download the hosts.zip file.
