I don't know if this will help solve your problems but this is what happened to me.
I had a virus warning (real time scan) and I couldn't get rid of it. (I'm happy it only changed my homepage to another site)
When I contacted support of my virus scanning software they suggested I tried this (and it helped.)
The virus might be located in the section of your harddisk used for recovery. Goto your configuration screen and make sure to turn of the recovery settings. Then reboot.
Hope this helps...
There're also rumors on a big new virus spreading rappidly

On my computer with this problem, I am still not able to use IE, *but* everything else is ok including charting and dtn quotes.
Since I have other computers for internet purposes, I'm just waiting for some other reason to reinstall win2k.

It's messed up my Esig too. But AOL IM works. I really want to avoid a drastic fix, but am starting to think one might be necessary. That or getting a tech guy in here. Hey Aphie, do you make house calls to Connecticut?
