An unusual problem, I think

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

I don't know if all this is coincidence or not. First, I can't get to my
Hotmail--all I get is a "Done" with a blank window no matter how I try to
get to it.

So I updated and ran Spybot S & D which found an unrelated tracking
object--deleted. Then I went to Adaware6, check updates, and it indicated
that I needed to get an upgrade, so I got the SE model. Then I ran it and it
found 63 assorted objects! I've been using them both for years and it is
not unusual for one to find one or two that the other missed, but 63?

So I quarantined, then removed them. But I still can only get to Hotmail by
first linking through MSNBC.com, then My MSN, then Hotmail. I don't know yet
if I'll need to unquarantine anything, but there was nothing to do with MSN
or Hotmail in there.

AVG7 scanned no virus. Is there an odd coincidence going on here, or a
connection, or what? (WINXP, IE6)

Any help greatly appreciated.
