IE6 works only in admin. account

[Dan Schaffer]

Hi,

I run IE6 in Win2k (up to date), and have for a long time.

Today I found that IE6 could access its home page and at least one other,
but for most addresses it simply said "This page cannot be displayed".
Netscape can access any address, so my broadband modem and connection are
not the problem. Oddest of all, IE6 can access any address when I go into my
administrator account.

I'd be grateful for suggestions.

If you have user profiles set to use their own settings, it may be an issue
with something installed/downloaded on that user account. If in fact you do
have profiles set to individual, try creating a new account and testing it.

Hi,
Malware can affect only some user accounts. Work through the solutions
(CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot) at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that
