Anybody have experience with this? I removed it from a PC, apparently quite easily via Add/Remove, but now I cannot load msn.com (the guy's default home page) completely. Other pages seem to work fine -in fact I'm posting this from the same laptop.
I ran MS Giant anti-spy and it shows nothing.
Thanks in advance!

So, is anybody else having problems loading msn.com? I can get everything but the last two ad images and I'm wondering if they are having a problem with an adserver, or if this laptop is screwed up.
Dunno for sure - shooting in the dark here. Could be the source URLs for those adds are blocked by one or another antispyware app on the machine. Lemme know what all is there for security/privacy, and then try this: right-click in the broken ad display boxes, select "Properties", copy the entire URL for each, post them here, and I'll see if there's anything I can figure out.
I think what it was was this. When I uninstalled errorfixer, it remove part of the Flash subsystem. When a Flash advertisement on A2K requested I download Flash, I went ahead and did it since I trusted the source It immediately fixed the problem loading MSN home, though the ads there never told me I needed to reinstall Flash.
Yeah, that makes sense. Could be that you got no notice about needing Flash because Flash was there, just broken. I've seen that with Java, both Sun and MS JVM, too.
