While running IE6 this error message pops up immediatley
and recurs over and over until I can close the browser. I
have done system recovery and upgraded from 5.5 to 6.0.
Any suggestions?

Hi Henri,

I looked high and low on Google for that DLL last night. Was going to prescribe
a Hijack recommendation - good thing that's what you did - probably right on the
money.

Salut.
