Why does Windows Explorer Want to Access Web?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

I should have said every time I do a search after I open Explorer.
Sorry.


Every time I open Windows Explorer, it wants to access the internet.
Why?

Thanks

But I am using SP1 because I fear installing SP2.

Thats the Anti-virus programs fault. I would advise you to dump NAV and go for a free anti-virus
software like AVG Antivirus:

================
You have spyware!
go to Downloads.com
and download AdAware Personal the latest FREE spyware
removaltool and make sure to update its signatures
and run it and then delete all the spyware.
spyware does that too; its little servlets are defaulted for
many access ways to serve their little message to thier commrads
so they write code to handle DSL, Broadband, and modem
and it is spyware.

Certain programs do have problems with sp2 and usually they are
corportate programs etc. The normal home user and there programs things
work fine. Mircrosoft had a list of programs on their site at the time
that didn't get along to well at that time..... I am sure things have
changed since then
