    'Internet cannot download from 64.4.61.250

    Internet Explorer was not able to download this Internet site. The request site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.'

    I have no problems viewing attached photos,it seems to be only with word document attachments.

    I had to apply a sledgehammer in regedit to get rid of AZR Search in my machine. Neither my antivirus nor anto-spyware picked it up.

    Hijackthis is excellent for finding and removing browser plugins. This can find bits that are ignored by antivirus and antispyware programs.

    Be very careful when using this program though. It is very powerful and if you delete the wrong thing, you could end up mucking up your system. If you're not sure what to delete, get advice first.
