I was yold by my ISP that my browser was corrupt? When I
go to a website it either says action cancelled or this
page cannot be viewed.
I do daily cleaning of all temp folders.I was yold to go
to add/rewmove programs and repair internet explorer,this
helped and it worked,but next time I signed on it did it
again,I have also uninstalled internet adapter and this
also was a temp fix.
I do I fix a curupt intenet explorer?
TIA

Georgia,
The "Action Cancelled" message is usually generated when entries in the
users HOSTS file are preventing access from one or more servers designated
in the web page. In most cases this occurs from 3rd party ad servers such as
"doubleclick", where the "Action Cancelled" message replaces an [example] ad
banner in the viewing page.

In other cases the message is displayed when a user clicks a link in a page
that routes them thru a tracking service, or attempts to connect to a listed
hijacker, parasite, etc. and this culprit is listed as an entry in the HOSTS
file.

The simplest method is to have the user rename the HOSTS file (to NOHOSTS)
and try again. If renaming allows access, then the user needs to address the
cause. Either an incorrect entry or there is a legitimate reason the HOSTS
entry exists. (hijacker, trojan, dialer, etc.)

To rename the HOSTS file, download: "RenHosts.bat"
