security issues after removing MSIE v7

[Niteowl]

Hi,

I am working on a computer with XP Home, SP2, and Internet Explorer v7 was
inadvertantly installed when the owner failed to notice autoupdates was set
to Auto install.
..

so we removed v7 via the Add/Remove Programs, and since then there are a few
sites that will not allow connection. Currently running v6.0 SP2, cipher
strength 128bit

I have checked settings in the Advance tab of Internet Options.. checked
item "Use SSL2.0" which was not checked for some reason... that brought back
comcast.net, and a couple of others, but .....

sites I can't open are http://www.hotmail.com, local bank site
http://www.suntrust.com... it says the page isn't available or there's a
connection problem. ( I can get to the site on another computer on my LAN,
so it's not the site), I have checked the firewall (it's off) I have removed
a third party popup blocker, I have reset Security and Privacy to defaults.
I've done a "repair" on the tcp/ip,

What else would v7 have messed with??

I'm just about ready to just do a fresh install... this computer was working
prior to v7 being installed.

Any ideas of what to check or change?

thanks,
niteowl

Colin,

I looked at that group... only 47 entries since Nov 11, 2007... not a
great deal of help

I will try another brower group though... thanks,
