I noticed yesterday that my computer has an aversion to the words "Shave" and "Shaving".

I was trying to order some shaving cream, and every time I searched Ebay, I got the "page cannot be displayed" message............also with Google.

WTF???

possible security issues in internet explorer, banning sights with the word shave, as in "shaved"... need i continue?

ok... ok...

on a serious note- try clearing cookies and cache from tools-internet options first. then do the windows updates.takes a little while, but this clears up a lot of software issues.

please do. that is until you actually answer the question if you know.

^?

Andy,

Like your PC, I have an aversion to shaving too.... since 1971.

Go with the flow.

just installed Netscape..........the results of a google search for "shaving cream" is a blank page..........bizarre.

hey andy, if your not worried about changing browsers, i HIGHLY reccomend using "mozilla firefox". better, faster, stronger than either explorer or netscape.

did you clear the cache and cookies? consider looking at the security level?

I have that problem with compuserve and have checked all my settings and even contacted them for help. Their response? Switch to the microsoft browser!! Hate to say it, buy I have to switch for ebay and a few other sites. Pain in the butt, but it works.

tried all the normal stuff.........I am astute enough to deal with 90% of the bull**** problems with computers, but this is really ODD!!

i can't tell you how much doing all the windows updates helps solve a lot of problems...

Andy,

the new gen of 'worms' going around has been search hijack. Where you are taken somewhere else. Uless the security is high than the page is prevented from loading.

try a new search for gay porn

If you get the same...page not found.

Then its your security working well.

Remember shave, shaving can be vulgar words.

Andy,

I wrote that wrong. I was typing with a cigar in hand.

Let me simplify by asking; do you have vulgar sites restricted. If so the blank page would make sense.

You might be hijacked and the page does not load due to the preset restrictions.

dont try the porn thing...it was a joke.

no stringent security on THIS porn machine.

....National Security Agency.

That's all I'm saying.
