This morning I found that I could no longer access OE6 by clicking on the
Mail button in the IE6 Toolbar.Under Internet Options>Programs the drop-dowm
menu for HTML Editor contains 'Notepad' but all the rest are now blank.At
the bottom under Default Messaging Programs.It reads 'Application is no
longer default Mail and News handler'.If I change that to be ' Application
IS the Default Mail and News handler' then the next time I open IE I get a
message that 'Internet Explorer is not the default browser and would I like
to make it so'.If I do so then when I go back to OE I am told that OE is no
longer the default browser and so on round and round.If I set OE as the default handler and then immediately check back I find it is no longer set as such so I assume the problem lies there-but I could be wrong.
I did use AdAware to remove 4 items of malware yesterday,one of which was
described as being a possible browser hijacker.Could this be the source of
the problem and is there a solution? Any advice gratefully received.
