I have IE 6.0 browser, I am having trouble viewing
Google.com websit, and using the search engine in
yahoo.com. My guess it's the settings in my browser that
prevent me to do so. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in
advance..

code that uses a vulnerability in the Internet Explorer (MS03-032) to

More information about the vulnerability, including a fix, is available from

VARIANT: Delude.A
The HTA code available on a web page downloads a file "partyboy.exe" from an
ftp site and runs it. This file is is packed with UPX. It is a batch file

When executed, it changes the Internet Explorer start page to find-now.info.
It prevents access to the most major search engines such as Google, Yahoo,
Lycos, MSN and AltaVista. To do this it replaces the following file:
