Hi,

A friend has asked me to look at her PC as she can't access certain web
sites, microsoft updates for e.g. It's XP home with SP2 (recently added by
myself); I've done a full AV scan with AVG (latest definitions), adaware &
spybot scans & also posted a HijackThis log to a forum, which came back as
being clean. I've also lowered the browser security settings & upgraded to
version 6 but all to no avail. Does anyone have any other ideas, if not is
it possible to clear out IE & install it again, any help greatly
appreciated? I don't want to format!

TIA, Jase.
