Re: SP2 --> SP1 --- IE6 Not Working --- Upgrade to SP2 again ---Still Not Working

That's was what I thought in the fist place., but I've run Spybot (which has
been constantly updated) and it couldn't find any suspicious scumware.

I've also set the option as you described and restarted the IE browser, but
it still doesn't solve the problem.

By the way, the error message at the bottom of the web page stated that "the
server could not be found" or "DNS error". (These are not be the exact
wordings as I am using an Asian version of Windows XP Home Edition.)

Also, M/F which I also use doesn't work either. But I wonder why OE6 works
fine and I can even read email messages in HTML format!

Any other suggestions? Please help.

Hi Jimmy :-)

The likely cause of your problem after installing SP2 is that you had
scumware on your system that was uncovered by SP2, and that is why you
cannot connect to the Internet.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this allows you to connect to the Internet, then your system is
infected and you must clean you system of all the scumware. Be aware,
your Anti-Virus won't detect *all* types of warez, Trojans, malware,
worms, etc., and neither can other adware or spyware related programs such
as AdAware and SpyBot. They don't have all the proper definitions. They
must also be run in Safe Mode with Hidden Files enabled in order to fully
scan all files. Even if you have run such programs and nothing shows up,
it does not mean your system is clean. It takes a series of programs run
properly to fully clean your machine. Some very aggressive and damaging
variants of malware can replicate themselves repeatedly, or mutate, if not
removed properly. Follow the steps here:

Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites:

Follow the instructions here to thoroughly clean all types of scumware
from your machine in order for it to function properly. Disable the
"third party browser extensions." after the cleanup.

Hope this helps.

I've removed WinXP SP2 and gone back to SP1. All of a sudden, IE6 no
longer
worked and couldn't load any web pages (exept those on local hard disk).
However,
email and newsgroups are still functioning OK with OE6. I tried to "ping"
some
web sites at the command prompt and there seemed to be OK. I've
subsequently
upgraded again to SP2, hoping that this would solve the browser problem,
but
the problem still couldn't be solved!

Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?
