This problem is on my work computer - and my managers - and recently on my home computer.
IE 7.0.5730.11 on Windows XP, Professional - 2002 - SP3
IE only works when it wants too. I have been researching the problem all over the internet and have found a ton of people describing the same problem. I have tried many of the suggested solutions and nothing has worked.
Problem:
Sometimes IE works the way it is supposed to. Sometimes it brings up the white screen that says: Internet Explorer cannot find the web page...and suggests reasons for the problems. Sometimes, I can type in a perfectly good address like:
www.ups.com and instead of finding the page, or giving me an error, it takes me to Yahoo (my work computer), AOL Search Engine (my home computer), or AIM Search (my managers computer). That search engine inputs the website I typed in into its search and will find the exact website. When I click on the search engines link to the page, it sometimes will go to the page, sometimes not. Sometimes closing and reopening the browser window and trying again will fix it - sometimes not. Sometimes, refreshing the screen 15 times will do it.
Tried Firefox - same thing happens.
Tried SuperAntiSpyware - doesnt help - only found cookies
Tried Malwarebytes Anti Malware - doesnt help
Tried deleting temp files, cookies - all that in Tools - Options on IE - didnt help
Ran Trend Micro Security Agent - didnt help.
Ran some other virus search my boss gave me - didnt work.
I really think its a virus or something. Like I said - found a ton of blogs online with the same problem - but no one seems to have the answer.
PLEASE HELP
