This one page won't load at all... it was the current page when a malicious
file tried to take over Internet Explorer 6 (on XP). The firewall blocked a
program from installing, but until I closed all windows of IExplorer, it was
completely taken over. Everything was fine when I reopened except that that
one page that was my current page when this all happened won't load anymore.
I can't find anything that's out of place in my Add-ons or in Security
options... I'd like to just reinstall it but ie6setup refuses to because
I've already installed service pack 2 ("Setup detects a more current
version."). What should I do??? Please respond to glacier_head@yahoo.com.
Thank you.

Hijackware infects the Operating System (Windows) so reinstalling IE won't
help.
