ISP Trouble - Help?
I have a friend with a problem. He talked one of his friends into
changing to the ISP 'Shorelink'. Then he persuaded her to switch to 'Verizon'. So when she has problems, she reasonably assumes they are his doing and his responsibility. She has a glitch that obviously results from this chain of ISPs: an intrusion of Shorelink that behaves as if it were still involved. When she clicks on Outlook Express a window opens that incorrectly identifies her server as myshorelink. It lists her correct Verizon address and wants her password, which it rejects. If she clicks off the window it goes away with no further affect. My friend ran searches of her entire hard drive for "shorelink" and "myshorelink." Nothing was found. He looked in Control Panel through Internet Options, Network Setup, Phone & Modem Options and saw no mention of shorelink. He intends to do a regedit search for the term shorelink in the Registry. Can anyone suggest anything else he might do? |
