I am having a problem...with 'www.citicards.com'. I have done all the cleaning/scanning/etc, and I disabled all the spyware and AV programs.
I am connected online via a home network (wireless). I have 3 computers connected through this router. I can connect with two of the computers, but not the main one.

I have installed a new browser (Netscape) and still I cannot connect.

I checked the Host file (C;\Windows\Host and it is empty. I checked the Registry and I found 'citicards.com' and it had a value of "2".

I have had no problem with this site for years, but all of a sudden, 2 weeks ago, it shut down for me.

Can you save me?

Is this the only site you are having trouble with??

Rebuild your Winsock Stack.
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm

Set your Security Settings to Default.
Open Browser>Tools>Internet Options

Let us know if it works and we will go from there.

Yes...this is the ONLY site to which I cannot connect. The message is, something to the effect, the 'Page Cannot be found'

I cannot find any DEFAULT choice under the Security tab (Internet Options).

I ran the WinSock2 repair facility, actually, I ran 2 of them...the one you recommended and the 3rd Party utility from the UK. Both found no problems....i.e, there was nothing found to remove.

I am assuming you are running Win98SE right.
What version of IE??
Are you fully up-to-date with Windows Updates??

I'm sorry, I should have provided that information sooner. Win 98 SE; IE 6 SP1. I ran the updates earlier.

What is strange is that I have been accessing this URL for several years now, 2-3X/week. Only in the last few weeks has it 'died' on me. The only thing I remember doing is trying to install the Nero software so that I could burn CDs on a CD burner. The original CD player could not burn CDs. As it turns out, the Nero software overwhelmed the memory (194 MB), so I uninstalled it and installed the Roxio Fast/Easy/Simple software.

I have tried to uninstall Norton System Works 2001, but I get an error telling me that the Uninstall log cannot be found. Maybe something to do with Norton Clean Sweep in Norton Utilities.

OK
It is totally possible the Norton stuff has something to do with the problem.
It is not uncommon for Norton users to have trouble uninstalling.

When entering the Security Tab in Internet Tools & Highlight Internet you do not see a Custom & Default Button towards the bottom???

Delete your Cookies and do some Taking out the Trash & see if will let you on.

There are 5 full pages of instructions for removing Norton System Works from my Win 98 OS. Is that realistic? Is tyhere a less protracted way of doing this?

It appears that your reference is to removing the Norton Internet Security and Norton Firewall. I don't think I have either. I have Norton System Works, and SAV8-Corporate version.

Should I use this utility to remove Norton System Works 2001?

That means it is already set to default.
Click on Intranet, Trusted Sites, Restricted Sites & make sure they are set to default too.

Here use this SYMClean utility to rid yourself of Norton System works.
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nsw.n...001101612274407

Go to Add & Remove Programs and Uninstall anything that has to do with the Norton System Works that will remove then use the SYMClean utility.

SAV8-Corporate version

Never heard of this one.

Do you still use and keep updated System Works??
When we get done this may or may not fix the problem.

See if you can open this page.
http://www.citibank.com/us/cards/cardserv/...protect.htm#128

I am puzzled at why you can open all other sites but this one.
