I ran the AVG scan and deleted all the findings but it does not >> help. Where are the plug-ins located? How can I get the IE to work >> again........ thanks Please do a more thorough search for malware. Go through these general malware removal steps systematically - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware Include scanning with David Lipman's Multi_AV and follow instructions to do all scans in Safe Mode. http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Multi-AV - instructions http://pcdid.com/Multi_AV.htm - download When all else fails, run HijackThis and post your log in one of the specialty forums listed at the link above (not here, please). Standard caveat: If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local version of BigStoreUSA). Please be aware that not all local shops are skilled at removing malware and even if they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will need to be clean-installed. Have all your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop. Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers http://www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!" MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User

Guest liveprices Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 RE: IE encountered a problem .... I did all the necessary things (that both Malke and Nass said) and when I run (in safe mode) the AVG, Spybot and Anti-Spyware, nothing significant found except cookies . However for Anti-Spyware, it wanted to change my homepage which I disallow (may be I should have allow it asmy homepage may have been infected since I can see your posting from the shortcuton my desktop. However, will I launch the IE from the task bar, its a blank page with the IE6 error message.) At the moment, I am running Windows Live Onecare and will re-run Anti-spyware and allow the change of homepage. Good question, I dont really know what AVG does but I always think its a spyware. The Add-ons looks very ordinary:- Shockwave Flash Object- Macromedia SSHelper Class-Sun Microsystem Sun Java Console -Sun Microsystem Window Genunine Advantage - MS Windows Live Safety .. (2X) -MS WuwebControl Class - MS Will revert with the Windows Live Onecare once its done.

Guest liveprices Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 RE: IE encountered a problem .... Either AVG or Super Antispyware that I have installed wanted to change my home page to the std msn page. The strange thing is say from the windowsupdate page and go to I.O and change my home page or any other webpage, then launch the IE from taskbar, it will show up meaning I can surf but when I then change to my home page, the error message will appears. There is nothing wrong with my original homepage website as I can access from another pc without any problem. Will check with the web host next week. Guess it has something to do with BHO or its certificate that is corrupted and I need to download a fresh before I can view the page. Window Live Onecare scan doesn't helps too.
