$$$ Here it is:

The page cannot be displayed
      The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site
might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your
browser settings.

      Please try the following:

        a.. Click the Refresh button, or try again later.

        b.. If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that
it is spelled correctly.

        c.. To check your connection settings, click the Tools menu, and
then click Internet Options. On the Connections tab, click Settings. The
settings should match those provided by your local area network (LAN)
administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).
        d.. See if your Internet connection settings are being detected. You
can set Microsoft Windows to examine your network and automatically discover
network connection settings (if your network administrator has enabled this
setting).
          1.. Click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options.
          2.. On the Connections tab, click LAN Settings.
          3.. Select Automatically detect settings, and then click OK.
        e.. Some sites require 128-bit connection security. Click the Help
menu and then click About Internet Explorer to determine what strength
security you have installed.
        f.. If you are trying to reach a secure site, make sure your
Security settings can support it. Click the Tools menu, and then click
Internet Options. On the Advanced tab, scroll to the Security section and
check settings for SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, PCT 1.0.
        g.. Click the Back button to try another link.

$$$ Version 6 - It came on the PC.

$$$ It suddenly just stops getting to the webpages. I also lose Usenet and
these NGs at the same time. Sometimes e-mail will keep working, sometimes
not. We have a dial-up "up" connection but have a Direcway Satellite
return.

$$$ Oh, sorry, I have WXP-Home with SP2 installed. But the problem started
a few days before installing SP2.

$$$ What else can I use to find scumware??? I'm willing to try anything at
this point.

$$$ OK, I have never seen this come up on either W98SE or WXP-home. Also
the problem doesn't affect the two other computers on the net-work, and this
PC with the problem is the server for them. They can get the webpages but
THIS computer cannot. See above. :*(
