Internet Explorer Loading Problems

When does your Norton AntiVirus (NAV) subscription expire?

NB: No version of NAV has been supported in Win9x for many years.

See my earlier reply to your thread:

Okay.. IE isn't the best use but there are not many browser left for
9X so its limitations are now providing a measure of protection [thought
I wouldn't be recommending IE ever again].


As Pa indicates, Norton is not supported and hasn't been for quite
awhile in 9X. That you got whacked by a virus should tell you that
regardless of what you would like to believe, Norton isn't doing what it
should. If you have encountered any of the newer DOS/9X malware and/or
virus out here and running outdated signatures and engines [or even just
outdated engines], you should EXPECT to get whacked repeatedly and
regularly. Weekly or even daily checks haven't been a reliable method
for several years.. there is a REASON every Anti-virus application uses
on-access, on-load and includes "as received" checks... Windows users
are in a WAR against hackers and malware at the moment, and the hackers
and malware are winning that war,,,

As previously suggested, run the additional scans and hijackthis. You
*might* be able to save the system... just takes a few posts in one of
forums that check the logs and system files to find out if you can.


As for this month or so aspect that has been complained about
effecting sites and computers, think about the relationship of these to
your computer and Internet usage:
.... EVERY government [US and elsewhere] site [and most of the public
networking] has been hacked in the last three months - several million
more sites and computers have been added to the "bot farm/zombie"
networks - were they admitting it, likely every hosting service and ISP
has been raided and hacked - every "social networking service" has been
hacked ... Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Cisco, the Anti-virus sites, IBM,
and the list goes on... have all been hacked in some form...

IMO:
JAVA and Flash should be banned since they've become the primary
distribution method and are apparently impossible correct the flaws in -
off-site ads should be banned as they've become un-reliable no matter
the source, and yet one more hack entry point [what's to ensure that ad
service hasn't been hijacked or its IP or its ads] - sites owners, SEO,
and web designers who use more than two or three API and JAVA scripts
should be locked in a dark room for several years and fed nothing but
bread and water [I mean really 20 to 40 scripts PER PAGE WTFITA] - sites
that require you go to ten pages to read ONE article should be sent to
the Internet grave yard - sites which fail to provide alternative
NON-Flash pages should be dropped into the Mariana Trench, neaaaahhhh,
ain't gonna happen... so how do we protect ourselves...
