Hi,

Since SP2 update, I cannot get to any web page. Every page I try attempts
with a message in the IE status bar of www.incredifind.com , sometimes with
many more parameters as if its trying
to access everything via this web site. I cannot search for this problem on
web pages obviously, so trying this newsgroup? Other net applications work
ok.

I have nortons antivirus 2004 that has found no problems and adAware 5.0
which did not find any issues.

If its related to SP2 update, how do uninstall?
