Well, I give up. I got my HiJack log posted and quickly
got a reply (those guys are the greatest!)and 'fixed' the
2 entries they found. But still get kicked off most
websites. I have done all I can think of; Updated IE to
6.0, updated and ran Norton VirusScan, updated and ran
CWShredder, Spybot S&D and AdAware. No luck. The odd
thing is, I have no trouble at all surfing the same sites
using Netscape. Soooo, guess I will just stick to
Netscape from now on...
Thanks a bunch, you've been terrific help!
