I believe that I have damaged my registry in relation to
Internet Explorer. I can ping; Charter can see my modem; I
just cannot get the web pages to open. I believe I damaged
it when trying to remove Gator from my machine that
downloaded itselt. Please help. I have spent about 30
hours trying to fix.
 
I've run across this after removing a variety of various nasties, Libby.
You're correct in that something is not right in the registry. Often,
removing stuff like Gator via Ad-Aware or SpyBot leaves incorrect data in
various registry keys. Try downloading and running the following utility to
correct. In case you're wondering, I found this on Lavasoft's tech support
forum after researching the very same issue, caused in that instance by
removing New Dot Net Domains (included "for convenience" with Kazaa, by the
way).
