    I have had 3 of those
    boxes show up today on this site right when I click "submit message" for a post.

    I think 3 times in one day for the same thing is rather unusual!?

    Any ideas? Just bad luck or....

    Yeah, I know what everyone says about IE 6 so I don't want to get into that debate. Yes, I have all the Windows updates installed, have ad-aware, spybot, spywareblaster, just ran AVAST scans, have Windows XP home with zone alarm 5.0.x also.

    I know that this will not solve your problem when it comes to IE and i know that you don't want/need to hear this: but more and more experts are telling us to dump IE all together.
    I'd really suggest trying out an alternate browser (like Mozilla Firefox, or Opera).
    I know that you *specifically* said that you didn't want to get into this debate but enough knolwedgeable sources have said "Dump IE" that I think it is worth it.
    I hope that others can help you with IE as that is what you want -but I thought that it was important to re-iterate that IE is flawed.
    -Knowing that this is not the reply that you wanted -but thinking it might help.
    Yours,

    No - that's ok. I had trouble with IE in the past and used NETSCAPE - that was fine too. But Firefox sure looks like the way to go.

    It's just that I'm always curious and am wondering what the deal is with these errors. :rolleyes:

    Hi pegg :)
    xflat is right in what he says. Have you tried using a good cleaner with a cookie control monitor? You should give mru blaster a try as it does a awful lot of ongoing cleaning and protection all in one. You can find it here. Once set up correctly and you have read the help file you will find that a vast amount of problem's can be corrected and preventing further problem's arising at a later date
