Friend of mine has WIN XP and IE6.0 When opening a web page in the address
line at the top of IE, the page opens with multiple pages of the same. eg
www.google.co.uk produces page after page of the same screen and carries on
doing so. Therefore he cannon access any internet page at all. Any idea as
to what the problem is and how best resolved ?

Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log
to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with
assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30, or other appropriate forums for review
by an expert in such matters, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
