i don't know if it will help but i was playing around with some sites in internet explorer trying to get it to work. and the sites would come up with these symbols in front of the words...
for example
i typed in www.yahoo.com and hit enter and got this on the web address line-
i fixed the problem in hijackthis and made sure that the file wasn't in my system32 folder...is there something else that i need to do after that? because my internet explorer is still not working
well when i meant that everything else is functioning i meant my messengers and netscape which is what i'm using to access the internet right now.
here is the information for what you said to do

i'm at a school with either a T1 or T3 connection i'm not sure.....and i use an ethernet connection. everything else is fuctioning other than the internet explorer itself.
my internet explorer is currently out of commission by what someone has said is spyware. it opens and just tells me that the page cannot be displayed and won't open anything else or refresh.
i'm using a compaq presario, windows XP, and i'm on a LAN connection.
here is my hijackthis log.
please help.

I opened internet explorer and recieved the standard "cannot dispaly this page" error. I have a compaq presario and i'm running windows XP and am on a LAN line. Internet explorer won't let me go to any websites at all and if it wasn't for netscape i would be really lost right now. i have had this problem once before and found out it was spyware, this may be the case now but i have no idea how to fix it. i have run my spyware problem and retrieved some things but it does not seem like it helped.
