View 9 Replies View RelatedEvery time I start up my computer the settings in my ADSL connection is altered to nr;
004366098974893 Other settings in my dial up is also altered. I have run Spybot and Lavasoft Ad-Aware free spyware but they don't solve the problem. I also got icons called Lip Game, PORN DVD and Dating which I removed.
I'm running XP Home Edition on an HP home PC. I keep getting warning notifications that my computer has been infected with the "Blackworm Virus." I am then routed to a WinFixer purchase website (I haven't purchased or installed anything). In addition, there seems to be some other "bug" that will takeover my browser and route them to other sites. I have run AVG, Microsoft Spyware, Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware 6.0, and XoftSpy Scan - all to no avail. Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware and XoftSpy detect the cookies and allow for immunization but this action is obviously not getting to the heart of the problem. AVG hasn't even identified the items. I have also tried de-activating the restore points and rebooting in safe mode

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to have a default Browser? I want every program that has links to open up in say. Firefox, I have tried setting it as my default browser in the settings option, and in "Set programs access and defaults". It works quite well...

View 5 Replies View RelatedThe high level instructions and still have the problem. I've got a hijacker (I think) problem. When I try to start my machine, as it's loading the icons in the system tray, I repeatedly get "explorer.exe has caused errors and will be shut down" and it generates an error log. Then all desktop icons disappear, and it starts over. Only way I can get it booted is in safe mode. I've run the current versions of spybot s&d and adaware 6. After I ran these applications and cleaned my system, I still have the problem. Reboot in safe mode and run Adaware and spybot again and they find registry entry problems again.

When I open Internet Explorer, my home page (www.google.com) opens.When it is finished loading, it automatically redirets to yahoo mail login page. The catch is, all my browsers windows that are open will be changed too. If I hit "stop" before the page is loaded, then hit "refresh", this action does not occur. I have Microsoft updates automatically downloade do my computer. I have the latest MacAfee anti-virus on my computer and have run the latest scan. I have run Microsoft beta spy-ware, ad aware and yahoo's version. I am not seeing anything.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter reading an article in "Wired" last night, I installed the Google Toolbar on my Windows 2000 XP HE. I ran Ad-AwareSE and SpyBot. Browsing seemed to go quicker and smoother. This morning, however, I got a MS Windows message concerning "possible" trouble with my browser. It recommended examining my add-ons in IE. I don't have sufficient knowledge to recognize what I should and shouldn't have or, more appropriately, what may be harmful here. I know that those "RealPlayer" programs are invasive so when I saw that listed, I disabled it.
View 23 Replies View RelatedI recently reformatted and installed Windows XP Home fresh on both my desktop and laptop. All worked fine even after getting updated until the last update on each. On the desktop it included Service pack 2 update but not on the laptop, it was a new update but still has only service pack 1. On each computer the browsers both IE6 and foxfire started running very slow. IT would take many seconds to get new pages open. On the laptop I restored and IE6 works fine but I am still having a problem with Foxfire and it also received a Foxfire update. Any idea how to fix this problem without restoring and losing the needed update? I have run XP on both systems for a good while and never had this problem.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI continue to have problems with my browser being unable to update pages and with displaying outdated pages (i have previously posted this problem but it still exists). I have attempted everything i can think of deleting the cookies, cache, and adjusting settings to "check for new versions of pages

for some reason every time I start up my computer I get a Bad Image message saying that the file mshtml.dll is not a valid image. Because of this I can't use the internet! I take it out of the folder and put it back in and my internet starts to work. Now when I go to Internet Explorer I go to the browser and when I type in a site it just crashes and says IE has encountered a problem it has to shutdown. Luckly I have AOL also! but when I try to download with either browsers, it just shows a bar in the left corner loading as it does when you go to any other site and then it just stops and goes away.
