Still have problem. I did the following:
1. Deleted all references to Google via Windows Explore searching on Google
2. Uninstalled Firefox (it had a reference to Google)
3. Reset default search engine to Bing & removed entry for Google
4. Reinstalled IE8 using www.microsoft.com/internet-explore/thank-you.aspx
5. During the process for unistall/reinstall IE8:
a. Process indicated that it unloaded the "old" installation
b. Requested restart & logon
c.Ran ie8-windowsxp-x86-ehu.exe on restart of windows
d. Installation went through:
. Downloading
. Checking your computer for malicious software [found none]
. Installing updates
. Finishing setup
. Restarted computer
e. No question about selecting "simple" vs. "custom" installation of IE8
f. Got the following trying to select "Released" in the Download Center
trying to access the security updates for "All Windows XP."
g. I am running with Norton 360 and MS auto updates off (due to another
porblem)
h. The error is:

Your problem has nothing to do with Java, STUPIDAntiSpyware, or IE8 (other.
than the fact that you installed the MSN-customized version of IE8 and have
an outdated version of Google Toolbar installed) and everything to do with
an excessively long User Agent string.
Start here http://www.fiddlertool.com/useragent.aspx or maybe here
http://www.enhanceie.com/ietoys/uapick.asp
Try "spoofing" IE7 User Agent strings (or uninstall Google Toolbar & the
MSN-customized version of IE8 then do a fresh install of "vanilla" IE8).

I have tried to un-install then re-install the latest Java release for
Windows - no change. I re-installed Internet Explore 8 - no change. I
scaned
with Superantispyware - nothing found. I am running Windows XP Pro SP3.
Any
answers/suggestions?
