Any ideas? On Monday, April 14, 2008 4:15 PM VanguardLH wrote: Re: URL not found csmith wrote: What happens if you uninstall the Ask toolbar? Many such search toolbars will present their results but the links for them will go through their own servers before sending you to the intended site. That is, to track what you are doing with their searches, the target site is a parameter in the actual URL that you click on. That URL points at their search server to track where you went and then they redirect you to the intended target. Google's toolbar or searches do that if you enable their advanced features (Page Rank and Page Info). They can only provide that information by seeing where you went (and where others went) to provide you with that ranking information or show you similar sites. The Google toolbar has the option to turn this off. Maybe your Ask toolbar can have its tracking disabled if not, it will always track where you visit by sending you through their servers when you click on the links that they present to you. Best is to just uninstall their toolbar. I just did a test in a virtual machine (so I could snapshot back to my baseline setup) where I installed the Ask toolbar into Internet Explorer. I checked but did not see an option to NOT track my search results when I click on the links. I did a search and every link was of the form: http://wzus.ask.com/r? The target site is listed in the parameters. Every link goes back through their server. That means every link gets tracked. You have to rely on their server managing to relay or redirect you to the target site. That causes delay. If their servers are screwed up, so are their links which means you cannot get to the target sites using their links. So uninstall the Ask toolbar.

If so, uninstall it.

They may require that you get to one page from a prior page of theirs and not permit direct access to a non-home page. They may also require cookies to watch navigation through their site. Some sites rely on the Referrer that is passed when you navigate from one page to the next (Referrer tells the server when you request a page regarding from whence you came). Some security software will block Referrer. I recall Norton Internet Security Suite doing that so I had to alter their blocking rules (but I haven't used Norton stuff for over 4 years). You could try purging the browser's temp file cache. On Tuesday, April 15, 2008 1:54 AM csmit wrote: I am going straight to the site - http://www.bestbuy. I am going straight to the site - http://www.bestbuy.com and that is fine, but can't then go to a login page on this or any other site that asks for login info. I will try to clear the temp. internet files. This seems to me like there is a security block somewhere keeping me from these type of pages - does that make sense? I can browse but not login anywhere. Thanks for all your help. "VanguardLH" wrote: On Tuesday, April 15, 2008 4:11 AM VanguardLH wrote: Re: URL not found csmith wrote: The login page is SSL secured. That is it is an HTTP SSL (https) web page. So something is blocking you from getting to secured web sites. Have you tried disabling your firewall? What other security software do you have installed?

I am also not able to clear the cookies or temp. internet files - does nothing when I choose delete. Thank you so much for your help.
