"This Page Cannot Be Displayed" error

[Joe Regina]

I attempted to install Net Nanny 5.0 on my daughter's
computer. The result has been that she can't use IE6
anymore. All we get is the "This Page Cannot Be Displayed"
error.

So far Net Nanny's Tech Support haven't helped. I have
tried to uninstall and re-install IE6 by using the "Set
Program Access and Defaults" without any success.

Her computer has XP Home and can still use Kazaa and
Norton Systemworks Live-update, but cannot use IE.

Tank you for any suggestions or ideas you can share

Best regards
Joe

Start by getting rid of Kazaa - it is prone to viruses and has known-confirmed
Spyware bundled with the application.

Use "Kazaa Be Gone" -

Unzip the file and run the file, this is a first step.

Once done with the Kazaa removal utility, run a Spyware scanner.

Install, reboot, read FAQ and overview, use online update feature to

with your pre-installed anti-virus scanner.
Rid your machine of unwanted Spyware pests.

Perform these actions and please post back with your findings.
