Here's a better one, The new Internet explorer puts a remote DLL in your
computer, RPCrt.DLL, why do think they do that?
Could it be they preparing for Neptune in Aquarius and setting up the
snooping for big brother in your computer?

Why are you posting this to this NG? There are numerous groups where
this posting is appropriate. This, and  the other groups to which you
cross posted it is not amongst them.

I don't know, but Navigator is working fine for me. And the Communicator
Previews have so far been amazing. Preview 2 stopped working on me, so I
got rid of it. No, problem. 

I think this is a nasty rumour that Microsoft and all those loyal to them,
are trying to make up.

LONG LIVE NETSCAPE!!!

I agree, one of the fellows at work has to completly redo his hard drive
just to get rid of it. It sucks!!!!!!

I had the fore mentioned Nutscrape Annialater...I uninstalled it and had no
prob besides the fact that I thought Nutscrape sucked....I recommend using
a product such as Clean Sweep 95 or somthing simaliar.. Cleen Sweep was the
first thing on this machine after the first crash..

    A clarification:  PC World says that, if you install the new Netscape 
Navigator and then uninstall the PREVIOUS version, then Netscape and most other 
browsers will stop working.

    The problem is, when you uninstall the previous version of Netscape, it 
removes files used both by Netscape and by other browsers, so none of them will 
work.

    However, this does not affect any programs other than browsers.
