I'm not sure of the technical nomenclature, but I wish I did, as I have a similar situation. Sounds like you might have a host problem in your registry; invasive code gets in and redirects you to another site (usually a porn site or some sort of advertisng/spyware type of thing). In doing so, it inserts a line into your registry that does not allow you to visit the site you actually wanted; in my case, these would include Amazon and (gasp) Looper's Delight. After you've removed the offending site, a registry entry remains, so that when you subsequently try to access the site you originally wanted, your browser times out. It's related to "browser hijacking", but again, I haven't been able to find out enough about how to fix it to actually do so. :( Does anyone have a suggestion for how to fix this without wiping the whole registry/operating system/hard drive? Or at least, can someone offer a better/clearer explanation than I have so that I'll have a better clue? -t- --- Jeff Shirkey <jcshirke@midway.uchicago.edu> wrote: > >OT?: > > > >I haven't been able to get ebay to load on my > browser (Micro.
