Do a file search for LMHost and I think the other is Host in Windows. Rename them or copy them to another folder like temp and delete them in the Windows folder. I had that problem with Win 98 and thanks to a Gateway tech support geek for the above solution.

>My sons PC in college has a problem where it would freeze up 70% of the time
>when he accessed the internet using the modem. (Win 98, IE6.0) He ran Adaware and since then all he gets are the "Site not found" white pages.  He took the box to the support techs at school and the got the same results via ethernet and even loaded Netscape.  They could ping in DOS.  They couldn't resolve the problem so my son's bringing it home this weekend for me to look at. Did Adaware remove a system file needed to access the internet?  Any suggestions?
