wasn't their a virus that hijacked your browser and prevented you from using search engines
I'd do a scan

yes, there is- spybot has blasted a couple of those off of my machine...they are called hijackers, and they are listed as spyware, even tho technically they are more like trojan horses. But those either reset my IE to use them as my search engine, or would cause pop up scripts to hit me whenever I used the more popular searches like yahoo, google, msn, etc. Those were terrible, even using something like Webferet, I'd get hit by them, since the feret would hit those particular search engines.
another thing that might be causing the problem is IE itself, sometimes, for reasons unknown, the "phantom administrator" (no I'm not bullshitting) pops up. where IE's content advisor kicks in and starts blocking something (s) without being told to. It's a bug in the O/S itself, not a virus. Hrm..then again, isnt winblows a virus??? PC Magazine did an article, and a regedit fix on it. I cant find the article, but give this a try- (this is for win98 btw, it should be similar for xp.
start/run/type in REGEDIT
hkey_users>microsoft>internet explorer>media>suppress online content
it should say "no" there if the content advisor is turned off in IE. If you're not using a filter prog and it says "yes" or something, right click it, chose MODIFY, and type in NO, hit enter, and that hopefully will take care of it.

yeah, hopefully, they do. and hopefully their other browser didnt go the way of the dodo too

Never had that happen hear but i don&#39;t use ie so maybe that&#39;s why.
Also, btw Internet Explorer is slow. You should consider getting Ad-Aware 6
or Spybot Search and Destroy to remove spyware components too.
I use Ad-Aware btw&#33;

[darkewolf]

yeah, IE is slow, and its buggy, and it&#39;s full of security holes. Hrm...why the hell am I still using it?

my preference is for spybot. ad-aware doesnt look for enough of the known malwares
