I get a page cannot be displayed error when I try to do a
search from the address bar. Although I can put in a
particular website and get results. Just no searching.
What could be the problem?
You might have picked up some parasites and/or browser hijackers,
although usually the hijackers will take you to their own search site.
Do the normal troubleshooting by scanning with a current antivirus
program (meaning a version not earlier than 2002 and using updated
virus definitions). Also, remove spyware with Spybot Search & Destroy
from
www.security.kolla.de and Ad-aware from
www.lavasoftusa.com. Be
sure to update these programs before running them. It is best to run
antivirus and spyware removal tools in Safe Mode.
After you know the computer is clean, if you're still having problems,
post back. Be sure to tell us how you're connecting to the Internet
(method/ISP) and what you've already done to troubleshoot.
