Problems Viewing Pages

[JurisKing]

Ebay pages always come up with the following message
when i'm attempting to view ebay.com.au pages:

Problem Report
The system detected HTTP Error Invalid Request while
attempting to retrieve the URL:
http://listings.ebay.com.au/aw/plistings/list/category12784
/index.html?from=R12.

Message ID
REQUEST_INVALID

Problem Description
The system did not accept the HTTP request.

Possible Problem Cause
The browser used 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0;
Windows 98)' and generated a malformed HTTP request. This
problem should not be encountered by a stable commercial
browser.

Possible Solution
Contact your Web browser technical support team if the
problem persists, and provide the team your account
information.


I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a problem with
the ebay server or if it was a problem with my browser.
I'm using IE v6.0.2600.0000 This has only recently began
happening (in the last couple of weeks). Previously
everything was working fine.

Thanks,
JurisKing

First eliminate any scumware.
See
Dealing with Unwanted Spyware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each need to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.
