Running Windows XP SP2 and IE 6. For some reason I can not access any http sites and certain https sites. I had a problem with the install of my CA Internet Security suite and uninstalled as instructed and tried to install again and then this issue reared its ugly head during the re-install. Now I can't get to any http sites. FTP and email still work OK. What needs to be done to remedy this issue?

not sure if that is correct, but I would look to see if IE is blocked by your security software. I take it your on another computer right now?

I was unable to complete the reinstall of my security software, so I'm currently unprotected on my home machine. And, yes, I am posting this from my work PC.

to still cause the problem. You stated that it did not install correctly, so it was uninstalled, then it errored while re-installing. During the re-install, it probably installed some components which are causing the problem.
These components need to be removed or disabled for your system to function properly.
Check the manufacturers website for a removal tool, which will clean out all registry entries and folders/files for the program.
or
manually remove these folders/files, clean reg., and stop services.
