Internet Explorer Problem
Something has happened to Internet Explorer. Every time I go to a site, I get a popup which says that Operation is aborted. Unable to access so-and-so.
It started happening after a nameless search engine took over my home page at Internet Explorer, which I am unable to delete. I have the Google toolbar and SpyBot checking very often. I have deleted Cookies. I have tried different settings in the Tools section of IE6. Fortunately, I don't have this problem using MSN Explorer, which I installed at almost the same time that this problem occurred. Anyone know of a fix?

Thanks, cheapie. I went to the registry and changed everything regarding Search and Internet. I also installed AdAware and that little patch. The home page is still hijacked but at least I can navigate the Web without getting "OPeration Aborted".
Isn't there a way to lock registry entries? |

if you wanna screw around with your registry, I recommend RegCleaner...
http://www.jv16.org/ hmmm, wait a minute... seems like the company got rid of the freeware regcleaner that they used to have, and started charging for a new one.... if you want, I can send you the freeware version that I have.
