[dba-Tech] Strange search engine problem

When you say reinstalled, do you mean format and start again, or a repair
install? If the latter, and you have time/patience, somewhere to back up
files to, I'd recommend the format option. Then install spybot 1.3 as it
protects from more than double the amount of things that 1.2 does, even with
the latest updates.

Oh, another thought occurs, have you installed win2k SP4 and/or ie6 sp1? if
not, try them and update them.

Preamble:  My kids do not practice safe computing.  Spybot and Adaware
always uncovers stuff that has been pushed onto their machine.  Well,
they're kids.

Problem:  Google searches hang the browser.  Have to terminate the process.
Ask.com searches also hang the browser.  But Alta Vista searches work!
(Haven't tried any other search engines.)

What I've done: Re-installed Windows (2k) to get a fresh IE.  No soap.
Downloaded IE 6.0.  Didn't help.

Any idea what's going on?
