Re: IE6 will not Open Certain Secure Webpages



Hi Jan. Thanks fr your response. I found two host files, both .SAM. I
followed all your other instructions, all to no avail. I run AdAware. Spybot
and AVG every day. there are always "Tracking Cookies" on the AdAware Scan,
the Spybot and AVG Scans are clear. Any other suggestions? :-)
