I've been at this for Problem for three solid days and ITS MY BIRTHDAY to boot. HELP
PLEASE!!!
Windows ME user and can no longer access secure websites -online banking etc.. "Page
cannot be displayed" message only. Secure site padlock in lower r/h corner looks
different ("cheesie?")than usual. Can't repair IE6, and can't reset IE6 to default
settings. AOL auto fix tells me that "due to changes in the application or windows
environment, auto fix will now quit" when I try to have it repair the AOL browser.
The tech support at AOL was at a loss. IE6 cannot seem to repair its installation.
I have tried the common things on this forum- read and accomplished the suggested
first steps, also did the settings to IE defaults, ssl 2.0 & 3.0 checked, Spybot,
cwshredder,ad-aware, McAffee run and the crap was deleted. Ran hijack this and I
see a couple suspicious items. Afraid to mess w/ my registry unless someone with
THE KNOWLEGE tells me what to mess with. If someone could help me w/ this, I would
sure appreciate this. (B-Day Present? ). I'm an airplane technician so please don't
assume I will always know the obvious computer stuff. Thanks.
P.S. how can I tell if port 443 is allowed? I'm using McAffee firewall.
