Re: Internet Explorer won't load, cannot open search
 

first try zilla connection accelerator then try updating/reinstall
Now im sort of new at this so i reccomend making a system restore point before you repair/delete these registry files.

Re: Internet Explorer won't load, cannot open search
 

Hi. First of all you need to update hijackthis to version 1.98.2. Run hijackthis & go to *Config\Misc Tools\Check for update on-line*. If the site is down, go here. Remove the old version by deleting the file manually. Unzip the new version into the hijackthis folder.

When done close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries & click 'fix checked':

Download About:buster from http://malwarebytes.biz/AboutBuster.zip and unzip it to your desktop. Do not run yet.

Download & instal Adaware from here
& update it before scanning.
In settings under 'scanning,' have it set to
'scan within archives,'
'scan active processes,'
'scan registry,'
'deepscan registry'
'scan my IE Favourites for banned URL's,'
'scan my host's file.'
In 'tweaks' under 'scanning engine' set it to 'unload recognised processes during scanning.'
Also in 'tweaks' under 'cleaning engine' set it to 'Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion' & 'let Windows remove files in use at next reboot.' Do not run yet.

Click here for instructions on how to boot into safe mode.

Boot up in safe mode.

Run About:buster, click OK, Start, and OK again to start the scan. Let it scan and fix everything it finds.

Still in safe mode, do a full system scan with Adaware. When the scan is finished select *next* & place a check in the boxes to the left of what is found & click *next* again. Let it delete those entries.

Reboot your computer in normal mode. Post a new log.

Close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries & click 'fix checked':

Should be good after that.

Re: Internet Explorer won't load, cannot open search
 

Bucf, I want to thank you for all of your help, because I was just lost as to what to do to solve this problem.
I was not even aware of where the problem was or how to find out. The knowledge base did not help me in the least, I could not find a listing of the problems that I was experiencing.
You have given me back my piece of mind.
Thank you very much.

P.S. Everything seems to be working fine that I am aware. Like I said, I am a novice at this and probably would not recognize if there was a problem, but I am learning.

Re: Internet Explorer won't load, cannot open search
 

We are all still learning :).
You're welcome :) . Marking this as solved. Anyone else with the same problem, please start your own thread. Thank you.
