In W2K, MS OL 2002 suddenly won't open at all. Not from shortcut; not from
desktop; and not from Start/Programs. Also not from clicking an e-mail address in Word. 1) I’ve recently had a significant increase in the amount of spam getting through both the ATT and the MS Outlook spam filters. It frequently carries a subject line that I have used recently myself or the “from” name or the subject are reminiscent of a person’s name or a topic that I have recently discussed in an e-mail. 2) Within the past 48 hours, shortcuts to IE and OL have not responded until I try them a second time. 3) Just now, when I tried to open IE, I got a dialogue box informing me that “the operation can not be completed because yada-yada are missing.” A bit later it worked fine. I have just reverified the following: MS AntiSpyware is active. Norton Autoprotect is active. My virus definitions are dated 1/25/06. I have just visited MS Security Help, but didn’t find anything applicable. Yes, I clear my cache regularly. Every 24 hours or so. What else should I be checking? And what shall I do now that OL won't open? Thanks much! |

My recommendation is to dump the Norton product, download Avast Antivirus Home Edition from http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html, install it, register it online (it's free for home users) and configure it to scan your drives. When you uninstall the Norton product, turn on the Windows firewall by going to your "Control Panel" and clicking on " Windows Firewall". Then I would download the trial version of SpySweeper from http://www.webroot.com/consumer/down...a1b6459b044506 and run it. It is worth the $29 bucks to buy it. Leave it running after it removes the spyware. At the same time you install it, remove MS AntiSpyware. Let us know how things work after doing these things. |

I tried here the other day
www.ewido.com rang the online checker and it fixed a number of my problems. I don't know the company but before running it, my research showed it to be reasonably popular and I saw no -ive statements Geoff "stephanie" wrote in message ...
