Re: IE6 won't open

Hi,
Defender is fine and you generally don't want to have multiple programs
providing real-time protection. Again, if this happens again, I would look
for a troublesome add-on or malware.

Thanks Don Varnau for prompt advice; I use Defender in the background but
am not sure if it catches all, or how much?!

It wouldn't hurt to run Ad-aware and or Spybot.
