Help......
Was working on my web site and all of the sudden when I open up view source, I get plain ole note pad with a couple of things saved on it. No source code to speak of. Now, avg bagged the same worm twice within 3 minutes of each other yesterday, so I did post the problem in the security and virus form. Have not gotten a reply back from them yet, but did do what they asked me with Hijack This. Anyway, I wanted to post here as well cause this envolves my working on my web site. Has anyone else had this happen, not getting anything from view source? If so, please tell me what the problem is and how to fix. Warm Regards and Thanks

Nellwyn

Well, I'm assuming that there is content on the page that you are trying to view source of. I have had problems on pages where they were put together poorly with scripts and the page ended up with two HEAD sections. Although in those instances it would not pull up the source at all. However I was able to bring up the source in Firefox.

So there could be a problem with the page being malformed. Try using Firefox to view the source. That's all I can advise. Good luck.

Hi Nellwyn, Michael J, hello everyone,

Nellwyn,

The mostly likely cause is too many files in the Temporary Internet Files folder.

Try deleting all of the files in the Temporary Internet Files folder and see if the issue is resolved.

Best Regards,
Mesich

Thank You Mesich, and Michael J,

I presented the problem to the security and virus group, as well, and followed their instructions { which included cleaning out the junk in the temp. net folders }. I can see my source code again :} Thanks everyone!!
