"Web page unavailable" message

[Donna]

Hello, Out There! HELP!

A window with the following message keeps popping up AT
RANDOM on my screen, whether online or not. How do I stop
this from happening?

"Web page unavailable while offline.
The web page you requested is not available offline.
To view this page, click Connect."

I would appreciate any help offered, as it is becoming
rather annoying and I, frustrated!

Hi,

Most likely some garbage got installed on your system, you need to clean it
out.

1) Install and run Adaware from www.lavasoft.de

2) Install and run Spyware Blaster from
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

3) Dump all TIF's and selectively delete unwanted cookies

4) Turn on the native firewall or install a third-party one
