WebCT

When I go to the WebCT login page, why am I transferred to another blank page?
Certain file sharing and "Spyware" programs may cause problems when trying to log into WebCT. Programs such as KaZaA, Grokster and iMesh may be install on your pc. These programs can install a program called Common.com or Common.Name on your machine. Common.com redirects your PC to other search engines.

How to fix this problem
Click on Start
Select Settings (Classic View only)
Select Control Panel
Double Click on Add/Remove Programs
Click to high-light Common.com or Common.Name
Click the Add/Remove button.

Select Start
Select Shutdown....
Select Restart

If your are still experiencing problems, to get rid of spyware, visit http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ and download the Ad-Aware program. After downloading and installing the program, run it and have it search your computer system. Ask it to remove anything it finds, exit the program and reboot the computer system. Ad-aware is freeware software. It removes the pop-up ads, spy ware from your PC.
