I am running xp w/sp2. I have IE6 w 128 bit encryption and sp2. I was having
no problems at all on the internet. I received an email in OE and click on
the link(like an idiot) and from that point on wierd things have been
happening. First on web pages images do not appear(jusr a red x) second on
other web pages in areas where there might be an ad of some kind just
displays "this page cannot be displayed" and third a few of my favorite links
sent me to a different web page to include the online support link under help
on IE. I have tried everything that I can think of. It almost sounds like a
virus but my anit virus didn't "catch" anything. I need some major help.

Try this first:

If nothing there helps try the whole malware scan:

Virus:
www.grisoft.com - AVG
www.antivir.com - AntiVir
http://www.my-etrust.com/microsoft/index.cfm - CA eTrust

Spyware:
www.lavasoft.de - AdAware
http://security.kolla.de/ - Spybot
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx -
Microsoft Anti-Spyware Beta

Trojan:
www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/ - a Squared
http://swatit.org/ Swat It

Before cleaning download this:

LSP-Fix - a free program to repair damaged Winsock 2 stacks:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm

Use that should cleaning out your PC remove or damage your in-place winsock
and you can't connect to the internet.

From the virus and trojan category pick one application, they're all free,
download it and install it. Make sure that you update it. From the spyware
category pick all three, download them and update them to the latest
definitions. Reboot, press the F8 key over and over again, from the menu
select Safe mode without networking. Do your cleaning in there. Reboot to
regular mode and run the scans again. This isn't going to be quick or easy
but it might just solve your problems and it should prevent you from further
problems so long as you keep them updated and scan often. Most of them can
be enabled to update and scan automatically.
