A few thoughts...
1). Disable GetRight. For more info look here
http://www.mygetright.com/cgi-bin/faq.cgi?filter=FAQ&start=90#44 (scroll down to the
Netscape sec.)
2). Do a search for Hosts, ignore any hosts files with an extension (it's in
C:Windows), rename if found.
#). Close *all componenets* of Netscape. Go to your Users folder and delete the Cache
folder and all of its contents. Also delete netscape.hst. Both will be rebuilt as
needed.
