<p>I've got a client that sees the "Page can not be displayed" (nothing else) whenever they perform a certain action in their website.  I don't get the error, ever.  I've tried IE, FF, Chrome, and I do not see the error.  The client sees the error on IE.</p>

<p>The error occurs when they press a form submit button that has only hidden fields.</p>

<p>I'm thinking this could be some kind of anti-malware / virus issue.  has anyone ever dealt with this issue?</p>

Ask them to switch off "short error messages" (or whatever they are called in the english version) somewhere deep in IEs options - This will make IE display the error message your server is sending instead of its own unhelpful message.</p>\n\n<p>Also I\'ve heard that IE might be forced to show server provided error messages if only the page is long/large enough, so you might want to add a longer "&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; " section to error messages.
