    IE6 Shutting down some sites..

    Okay this is on my son's machine at school (Gateway 600 XP Pro).

    Some websites are shutting down on him as soon as he navigates to them, form what I saw at Christmas, it appears to be Secure Sites (https), but there is no rhyme nor reason to it.

    It would seem that if a browser had a set security setting, it would shut down all sites that didn;t fit the profile. I am at my wits end on this one.
    Thanks in advanace for any help. By the way, scans with AdAware, Spybot, and CW Shreddrer turned up nothing. Machine is fully updated.

    May be because of restrictions that are setup on the school's firewall and/or the ISP.

    Tip: When prompted for a password, give an incorrect one first. A phishing site will accept it; a legitimate one won't.
