Re: IE6 hijacked - continual redirects

The users homepage is set to the company website.

Setting the homepage to about:blank doesn't help. As soon as you type a
URL or attempt to navigate to another site the redirect takes hold.

I disabled third-party browser helpers - no effect.
I uninstalled all add ons - no effect.

I'm wondering if I should delete the users profile from the server and
local machine.

Hi Happybrick,

What is the user's Homepage setting? Is it just the homepage setting or a
genuine re-direct from the homepage? Or is the homepage setting to an
invalid address (which would trigger a 404 error and start autosearch) Test
by using Ctrl+Home to navigate to the homepage Solution - change the
homepage to about:blank - IE loads fastest with a local start/home page.

What toolbar and BHO add-ons has the user installed? Test by disabling
"Third-Party Browser Helpers" (Tools>Internet Options - Advanced tab).

Solution - Uninstall the offending Add-on.

Lastly check if the nut holding the keyboard is loose. Tighten if necessary.

Regards.
