  • Detail the problem, such as which applications are running when you have the problem
    Problem is when I’m visiting a web page and select another site from favorites or click on a link or even try to put in an email address from my contacts when composing an email I almost always get the error "Internet Explorer (7) can’t display the web page. Sometimes hitting the refresh button will get me there but usually I end up hitting the back button and trying until I get through. This all started after install of Comodo.
  • Please inform us if you have created any custom rules
    I’m not knowledgeable enough to create custom rules.
    This is very time consuming, any help appreciated

Does your XP Pro have SP2? Do you have IE set up as a “Web Browser” under Network Security Policy? Do you get any messages in the firewall log? You can also try turning off the real time component of AdAware temporarily if you are using it.

Thank You sded,
IE was not set up as a “web browser” under network security policy. Since I’ve changed it I have not had any problems. Thanks again.

Glad it is working for you. I’ll mark this thread “resolved” then.
