First let me say that I mistyped and I still have IE6. I installed
AVG about 5-6 years ago. At that time I probably uninstalled Norton. Thanks for your willingness to help.

Did you check to see if the hot fix really applied?

Norton (and McAfee) applications are notorious for not uninstalling (or
upgrading) cleanly. Assuming it was a Norton 2003 (or newer) application: 1. Download the Norton Removal Tool, saving it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/englis...moval_Tool.exe 2. Close all open applications (i.e., anything with an icon on the taskbar). 3. Double-click on the file you saved in #1 above to run the utility. Don't TOUCH your keyboard until the run completes, then reboot. Jack wrote: First let me say that I mistyped and I still have IE6. I installed AVG about 5-6 years ago.
