Re: Unable to connect to windows update site

I have the information

>From javascript:navigator.userAgent:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

>From http://www.fiddlertool.com/useragent.aspx:


Your browser sent the following headers:

Connection=Keep-Alive
Accept=image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg,
application/x-shockwave-flash, application/vnd.ms-excel,
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/msword, */*
Accept-Encoding=gzip, deflate
Accept-Language=en-us,nl;q=0.5
Host=www.fiddlertool.com
User-Agent=Mozilla/4.0


ASPNET's HTTPBrowserCapabilities object reports that based on the
User-Agent, your Browser has the following capabilities:


Type = Netscape4
Name = Netscape
Version = 4.0
Major Version = 4
Minor Version = 0
Platform = Unknown
Is Beta = False
Is Crawler = False
Is AOL = False
Is Win16 = False
Is Win32 = False
Supports Frames = True
Supports Tables = True
Supports Cookies = True
Supports VBScript = False
Supports JavaScript = True
Supports Java Applets = True
Supports ActiveX Controls = False

Where does Netscape 4.0 comming from??? I never installed Netscape

Kind regards
