Spyware got me

1. Opne IE click on Tools->Internet Options ->Connections ->Lan Settings - Make sure there is no Proxy server setup.

2. Check the file c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts there shouldn't be many IP addresses in there. It should only have 127.0.0.1

3. System Restore to a point before the install will work but you might loose a thing or 2. I never have but I've heard of people that have lost some recent work.

If these don't work then let us know and we can offer a few more ideas. Either way, let us know what does work please.

Where's Cleo when you need an ad for Macs?
