Hello again John,
I downloaded IE7 and there is no change. I also noticed I cannot send mail on my yahoo account. I have the phlishing tool on and I notice it is checking MS update site as long as I have it open. I also checked my security settings and under restricted sites I have hundreds of **** -spyware etc. sites listed. included is *.activeupdate.com.
Do you think I should remove it? I don't know how these got there as I never listed them. My other two computers have nothing at all in the restricted site. Help!
