This might well be a McAfee issue. McAfee is always downloading and updating
itself so it is quite possible something has become corrupted in the process. I
think I will unload McAfee or turn it off, at least and see if this fixes the
problem. I guess I would not reformat though. The work-around so far works
well. So, unless I am not able to activate the link at all, I will use the
work-around until I get a new computer which will likely be in a few months.
Looks like I need more processing capability what with Anti spyware, virus
protection, phishing protection, spam filtering, sappi voices, automatic
updating---and who knows what else is going on--it seems as if there is so much
automatic processing happening that I rarely get a chance to use the computer
now-a-days!

I have this problem on my computer. I have had to reformat several times
and have had three hard drives. I received a message from MacAfee stating
that it needed to be reinstalled as it was corrupted. After installing it,
I could never go to a link from a message again. I have JFW 7.0 and XP Home
with IE 6.
This is the computer I purchased in June of this year which has been nothing
but trouble.
