I am having a consistent problem with IE6.0 (auto-updated) instantly closing
when I try to log in to Netflix. I enter my password, etc. and click the GO
button and poof IE is gone.
I have to clear my Cookies and Files to even get there the second time,
otherwise IE closes as soon as I click on the link to the login page in my
Favorites.

It's a new one on Netflix and they had no suggestions.
This doesn't happen anywhere else and wasn't a problem until recently.
I'm wondering if it has to do with a recent IE update?
I run WIN2000 SP4 and IE 6.0.2800.1106.
Also ZoneAlarm, McAfee Security Center, NoAds & WinPatrol.

Thanks for any help you can provide in solving this mystery.

Having two (2) firewalls installed and enabled (one assumes) certainly isn't
helping matters, Peggy.

Since McAfee Security Center includes the McAfee Firewall and assuming you
do NOT have ZAISS installed, uninstall ZoneAlarm and see if this behavior
persists.

PS: If you have Google Toolbar or Google DesktopSearch installed, uninstall
it/them, too.
