Website redirects to 404 in IE but works on other browsers

www.mycomputercure.com works fine in all browsers except in IE. In IE it redirects to 404 page after loading the index page briefly. Appreciate any solutions in advance.

Thanks

Why am I getting 404 errors instead of redirects?

Another possibility is if a website has moved a page or resource but did so without redirecting the old URL to the new one. When that happens, you'll receive a 404 error instead of being automatically routed to the new page.

What is a 404 error in Internet Explorer?

Error 404. The page you're looking for can't be found. These error messages can appear in any browser or any operating system. Most display inside the browser window just as web pages do. In Internet Explorer, the message The webpage cannot be found usually indicates an HTTP 404 error but a 400 Bad Request error is another possibility.

How do I know if a website is 404 or 400?

Most display inside the browser window just as web pages do. In Internet Explorer, the message The webpage cannot be found usually indicates an HTTP 404 error but a 400 Bad Request error is another possibility. You can check to see which error IE is referring to by checking for either 404 or 400 in the title bar.

What can I add to my 404 page instead of content?

So, instead of affecting it negatively, add some links to your 404 page such as home page, trendy blog posts, highly valuable products, HTML sitemap, and other related links. 02.18.2019

Just a guess, based on examining the page's network traffic.

enter image description here

Internet Explorer executes HTML Behaviors (HTC files). No other browser does that. Your page has several 404 errors for HTCs. These usually appear right before other requests are aborted and the 404 page shows in IE.

I don't know what logic IE uses for retrieving an HTC file, but perhaps the omission of one purposely (or via a bug) causes the browser to deem the whole page to be "not found".

This thread on Microsoft's site sounds related and suggests other possibilities.

At minimum, start with fixing any 404s caused by the page.
