search engines

[Ed]

Problem with my computer is that when using Internet
Explorer 6.0 it will no go to most search engine websites.
Example google.com,google.ca and ask.com It always comes
up with unable to display page. Explorer works fine with
most other sites, except search engines. If I go to
yahoo.com, the site will come up BUT when I type in a
search item it will not display any 'finds'. Seems like
something is preventing the search engines from working

First eliminate any scumware.

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