with IE 6 on W2K from one particular forum (did they ban me ?) but also here at ET, I'm getting the error messages - ' IEXPLORE.exe has generated errors . . . ' or the one that restarts IE after being closed I've tried several fix methods directly related to iexplore without curing the problem including changing IE settings, could it be anything to do with Flash or ActiveX ?
Try running TrendMicro's Hijackthis utility Do a scan only, then uncheck the IE/Browsers objects(Shown as "BHO:" & any "Toolbar:") and click fix...
thanks HangSengJack but there's nothing there will be doing a format this weekend as I also got hit with something named xrt_collect that's been buggering-up the system
I strongly recommend you upgeade to FireFox (at the very least)...virtually all sites support it now (at least the traders i've used) and its very secure..recently FireFox was voted the most secure browser.
thanks for the replies i've installed firefox and was able to get on the forum i was having problems with which firefox displayed as having missing software - flash - which didn't seem to install, and i already have flash 9 installed using ff now and the reply area i'm typing in has been reduced to this text width you are viewing ??? also no longer see the ads whereas using ie6 i could see the ads but was getting the errors and closes will keep ie6 for mail and browse with ff
