isearch has hijacked my IE 6.0. in following your
instructions, i found hosts 3 times:
\i386
windows\system32\drivers\etc as a file
windows\system32\drivers\etc as a icalender file

a) do i rename both of the drivers files initially?
b) do i evenutally rename the original hosts back to
hosts?
c) would deleting the one "host" file work?
d) any idea why norton wouldn't catch this when my last
update was just two weeks ago?
