I'm getting this message on my Win XP (SP1) machine. It happens when logging on to a shopping site. It never used to happen before and I believe that it may be linked with spyware/registry entries etc.


MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ RUNTIME LIBRARY
Program C:\Program files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
abnormal program termination


I have hijack this and can post a log should need be.
AVG is fully up to date and is showing 0 founds
Using Ad-aware (up to date) .........seems ok.

Any ideas on how I can clean this up ?

Try deleting temp internet file and cookies,history ,In IE go to tool/internet options to do so

Tried that, still no joy.............

Any suggestions ?

Might I suggest Ad-Aware and Spybot .

Download the latest version of Ad-Aware at ADAWARE


Setup Ad-Aware !
After installing AAW, and before running the program, update reference files by using the bottom right button in the program, labeled "Check for Updates."

Launch the program, and click on the Gear at the top of the start screen.

Click the "Scanning" button.
Under Drives & Folders, select "Scan within Archives".
Click "Click here to select Drives + folders" and select your installed hard drives.

Under Memory & Registry, select all options.
Click the "Advanced" button.
Under "Log-file detail", select all options.
Click the "Tweaks" button.

Under "Scanning Engine", select the following:
"Include additional Ad-aware settings in logfile" and
"Unload recognized processes during scanning."
Under "Cleaning Engine", select the following:
"Let Windows remove files in use after reboot."
Click on 'Proceed' to save these Preferences.
Please make sure that you activate IN-DEPTH scanning before you proceed

Download SPYBOT
