After visiting a Microsoft website, IE6(SP2) in Windows XP Home has a
hangover effect. My local home page then invokes the dreaded InfoBar at the
top saying that some kind of dangerous active content has been blocked.
That's ridiculous. It only contains a list of URLs to my most frequently
visited websites, nothing more, and is purely html text, no graphics.
Closing then re-opening IE6 resets it to normal, but why can't Microsoft fix
their own websites to work right? I suspect it has something to do with
their worthless .NET, which I don't have installed. I had .NET for awhile
but it messed up my autologin to windows, so got rid of it.
