I am not sure if this is IE 7 beta or just IE question.
I have a user who is able to get on FireFox to browse webpages on the web,
however when they try to get on the same pages, Microsoft.com, google, yahoo,
etc. they are NOT able to do so. Tried to go to the DNS of google.com by
doing nslookup google.com and it gave me x.x.x.x and I put that in for
http://.... and it should have worked had there been a DNS issue, however i
thought that the same would be the case for the FireFox.
The user is using AdAware and SpyBot Search & Destroy and IE has no proxy
setup, and does not have hosts altered, I checked, it has hosts as 127.0.0.1
and nothing else, the default hosts file.
I did see in the Privacy Tab of IE Internet Options that there is a button
for Sites that I clicked on and it (APPEARS!) that Spybot put a HUGE anti
porno list in there of things NOT to check and or go to, they were all for
the BLOCKED. I did NOT see google, nor yahoo, etc. on there. It seemed that
they were all "bad" sites.
Restarted the computer, and updated to IE 7.x RC1 to see if that would help
at all.
Running XP SP2 and 1GB RAM and P4 system. Works well, just has a problem
with I.E.
 
Hi Matt.

I don't know if this will apply, but some of us have been having difficulty
viewing one website. I thought it was an IE6 update issue, but have just
discovered this evening, it is a McAfee Privacy Service issue. McAfee
recently released an update to their security center. The program is now
called Internet Security Suite 9. Once I installed that, I had nothing but
problems. One issue was I could not enlarge a picture. For example, I tried
to view an enlarged picture of a chair on the www.lazboy.com site & got a red
x even though all my settings were correct.

Also, there was 1 specific website I could not access. I would get a Page
Cannot be Displayed error & it would refer to a DNS error or could not find
server. After some testing, I discovered it is the McAfee Privacy Service
that is causing the issue.

Hope this helps.
