I know a bunch of you guys are computer (and otherwise) geeks, so I thought i would ask it here. A few months ago, when I was out of town on buisness, my wife complained she couldn't buy something online. So when I got home I investigated. everytime you go to a website logi n page, or to our bank online banking page, or even yahoo messenger, where you have to log in, it comes up with a web site not found error. A red icon also appears on the bottom of IE, like it is a unauthorized site or sumpthing. I tried to set the security settings as low as possible, but this didnt work either. Any ideas before I wipe the drive and reload EVERYTHING? Oh yeah, I used to run Norton Firewall, but I had some process that seemed to be linked to that program using 100% of my system resources when ever I opened IE, so I deleted it.
TIA for the help. |

I just upgraded to XP today and had a similar problem. After logging in I'd get another window which just sat there (not really a website not found). It turned out that behind all the open windows was this little warning saying "you are now entering/leaving a secure web site". I disabled this warning and everything works normally now.
