ipconfig /flushdns<br />

Didn't solve the issue.

Hello,<br />
<br />
A client of mine has no problem using Bing on Chrome, but in IE8 (even with it reset to default) a search for terms inside of MSN's bing entry point causes and instant 404 error. &nbsp;It does the same if he goes to <a href="http://www.bing.com" rel="ugc">www.bing.com</a>&nbsp;and tried to search.<br />
<br />
The hosts file is clean and a full virus scan with Avast shows no problems. &nbsp;Additionally no spyware or malware is present (he uses MalwareBytes). &nbsp;There is no proxy server setting in IE either, so it isn't that.<br />
<br />
Please help!

Hello,

A client of mine has no problem using Bing on Chrome, but in IE8 (even with it reset to default) a search for terms inside of MSN's bing entry point causes and instant 404 error.  It does the same if he goes to www.bing.com and tried to search.

IE8 cannot use Bing search

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.
