Browsers: IE Explorer 6 'Not Responding'

Things to do...

1.) Download/run IEFix, a cure-all for IE when the registry is corrupted.

2.) Click here to download WinSock XP Fix, which can repair your internet connection when damaged by malware.

3.) Click here for instructions on uninstalling Internet Explorer 6.0, then reinstall using a fresh download available here.

4.) Download and use an alternative browser such as Firefox, which is not tied into the OS and more secure overall.

5.) AdAware is an adware scanner, not a spyware scanner, though it may occasionally detect such things. I'd sugegst downloading and running SpyBot, a true antispyware program.

6.) If you find that you are unable to completely remove a virus or other piece of malware, restart your computer in Safe Mode (press F8 during boot) and run the scan there. You may also need to disable System restore to purge the current restore points, a breeding ground for malware.

7.) Once you get your internet connection up and running, click here to run HouseCall, a free online scan that offers a second opinion.

Hope this helps,
John


P.S. Since you can't download those programs on your computer, use someone else's and then transfer them to your computer using a flash drive, CD/DVD, etc.
