All fixed. I reinstalled IE 6. I would zap it altogether if I
could. I *think* all of this happened when PC-cillin "unearthed" a
pile of Trojan code that the previously installed Norton 2003 had
identified and had "buried". I can work out how it was able to
execute during a "window" when I had to uninstall and reinstall
pc-Cillin due to the product registration failing the first time
through. It busied itself deregistering a number of dlls before the
reinstalled pc-Cillin got to it and cleaned it out. I've been
re-registering dlls all day using regsvr32. We live and
learn. Clean out Norton's quarantine bins before one uninstalls
it...every cloud has a silver lining...at least it vindicates my
decision that it was time for Norton to go.
