No matter what URL I try, I get a

THE PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED

message. In the text there is a link that says

DETECT NETWORK SETTINGS

but clicking it does nothing. The browser is set to ONLINE. I can't
even bring up the router login page. I tried every possible "use proxy,
dont use proxy, etc" with no change.

I'm running Windows 2000 on an athlon system. Everything else seems to
operate fine. Including NETSCAPE 7.2. I can browse anywhere with that,
no errors.

I went into ADD/REMOVE programs and removed everything I could find
related to IE, downloaded it from MS (with NETSCAPE) and re-installed
and rebooted. Same message.

I'm not running a firewall.

Grr!

If you're not using a firewall you probably are infected with malware.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?

I ran the winblowz security tool and it said everything was fine.

Lessee, I have 3 winblowz boxes and one linux. Thank Goddess for linux
so I can at least post and ask why ALL 3 winblowz boxes are toast?

Billy, buy another yacht, or country while we try to figure out why
your product is trash?
