This is strange, and I have never seen it before. I am
running version 6.0. This only works on one specific
website: www.ebay.com. When I try to load this url,
explorer takes me to a site called
www.shopathomeselect.com, and then closes the browser
window. I don't have any trouble trying to access this
url on other computers, only mine. I have typed and
retyped the url correctly. I also uninstalled version
6.0 and reverted to a previus version, and then
reinstalled. Still no luck. I wonder if I uninstall
explore completely, and then reinstall 6.0 if this may
help. However, windows won't let me do this, and neither
will norton systemworks because it is a protected file.
Has anybody else had trouble like this? Or, can you give
me tips on how to go about unintalling explorer? Thanks.
