Hi Colleen
I helped a friend of mine recently with something like this.
After removing lots of virus's and hijack stuff we still could not get
things to go.
The issue was solved in a couple of steps.
1. Go to the Adaware site and look for add-ons.
Fetch the LSP tool install and run it.
We found DOTNET entries that some hijack program had placed there.
And that were still lying around.
Remove them.....warning picking the wrong thing would be bad, if you are
unsure
ask around first!
2. Re-install IE
Hope it helps.
