Search problems

[Jo]

I can't seem to search using my IE 6.0 browser. I try to
type in a search in the address bar, and it keeps brining
up a "Page Cannot Be Displayed" error, and when I hit the
search button, I get that little error box that sends a
report to Microsoft.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Thanks.

Put Google in the address bar and when that opens use that, It is much better than I/E browser

Rule out parasites.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

Let AD-Aware Scan your system for advertising Spyware

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.

More: This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.
