    Hi - Laptop at home, XP

    Dialup connection to internet via ocean free

    Most sites work ok via iexplore6 or firefox102 - however any Search engin i try to start ( google, yahoo, lycos etc ) i get a page up with just the word

    soon ...

    Very odd.

    The only search engine i can start up is search.msn.com

    I was wondering if its a microsoft embedded thing in XP blocking me ?

    ran AVG and Adaware scans just in case its due to spyware or virus.

    Thanks

    laurence

    yeah i second the spyware option, adaware is good, but its helpful to use a few different spyware catchers

    i hadevnt had any problems with the MS Beta one. Going to make ssome money out of it when it expires as ill have to go update on people computers where i have installed it.

    Id check Spybot search and destory and spywareblaster (this prevents spyware but does not remove it. Ill would not install this until you solve your current infection issues) as its take a snapshot of a spyware free computer and you can restore back to that if you get infected.
