IE 6.0 Help
I have Windows XP Home and Internet Explorer 6
Recently when I visit web pages it says "Page cannot be displayed" as if my internet was broken, but upon refreshing of the page, it works. It does this on links in different site sometimes. Other times (for instance when I tried Forbes.com) I get this: http:///?%20forbes.com I have no idea why it puts in the extra "/" and the "?%?20" Any ideas?

I would make sure that you have a virus scanner and its up to date. Do a full scan.
I would then run a spyware removal utility on it such as Spyware - Search and Destroy: http://download.com.com/3000-2144-10...ml?tag=lst-0-1 Make sure you clean all the spyware off it. that should fix your prob.. you can also try looking in your hosts file for any wierd entries (the spy where software will do it for you)

Also, you may want to give Mozilla a spin. It has a whole heap of features IE doesn't and avoids a lot of the IE spyware/viruses.

Well, I forgot to mention it, but I ran Ad-Aware, Spybot, and Spyware Blaster. Nothing.
