I found a fix for anyone that uses Nutscrape's

non-webbased mail client

If you use nutscrape you know about the redirections that send you to a add when you load mail

good luck and if yah need any help just yell

and save this for you maybe able to help a friend

or family member that might use's nutscrape also

Please note: Directions must be followed in this exact
order; otherwise they will not work.

If you view this page using Internet Explorer, you will be able to view
the directions while completing them.

1.Close Netscape Messenger and Netscape Navigator, if they are open.

2.Open Windows Explorer.

3.Open the c:\program files\Netscape\Users folder\your user profile folder.

4.Click on the prefs.js file with the right mouse button.

5.Select edit from the menu.

6.Cut and paste this line at the end of the file:

user_pref("mailnews.start_page.enabled",false);

1.Go to the file menu, and select save.

2.Close the prefs.js file.

3.Open Netscape Navigator, but do not open Netscape Messenger (email).

4.Go to the edit menu - select preferences.

5.Under category (on the left pane), select navigator.

6.Click the clear history and clear location bar buttons.

7.From the advanced/cache section (under categories),

click on clean memory cache, and clear disk cache.

8.Close Netscape.

9.Reboot

When you reopen Netscape, the problem should be fixed.

Good Luck
