I am asking this for a friend. He called Microsoft and, after a looooong wait, talked to one of their techs, who said he needed to call another of their numbers, which the tech then gave him. When my friend called it, it said it had been disconnected.

Anyway, I took him through all of the solutions I knew of and we didn't get anywhere, SO...I told him you lot would be able to help! Note, I have supreme faith in you...I did not say "maybe!" **BG** Thanks for any suggestions of help for this:

He had Netscape and for some reason I didn't get into, decided to try IE. He's never had a problem with a password or content advisors prior to this. Now, no matter what he does, he cannot get onto virtually any site because the MS content advisor wants a password, one which he NEVER created! I took him through the steps in Internet Options to disable the bloody thing, BUT it wants a password from him. He's wondering if it is some kind of MS virus deliberately embedded by MS. Either way, do you know any way around the password thing? We tried changing it in the Control Panel, too, but, of course, one has to know the old password first.

Every once in awhile my Internet Options go whacko and the content advisor gets enabled. When I go to disable, it asks me for a password, I don't enter anything, I just click on OKAY, and it disables it with no problem.

Thanks a bunch!!
