404526 2005-11-15 10:49:00 basically iexplorer/firefox/all the other browsers i have tried only work sometimes (they used to work perfectly fine). i have reinstalled them, scanned for viruses, spyware etc. anyway.. an example of problem - a friend gives me a link on msn to view a website, i click it, nothing happens. there are other things that dont work, but that is the most common one. i really have no clue what the problem could be.. so meh. if computer specs or anything will help you resolve this please ask.

thanks,

404527 2005-11-15 10:53:00 Does MSN continue to work even when you can't get web pages? Greg (193)
404528 2005-11-15 10:55:00 yes, msn and nearly everything else work. guy_who_doesnt_know_much (9248)
404529 2005-11-15 12:11:00 Is that the only problem, when you clik a link in msn it dosent open?

Does your browser function in every other way?

Do you have a similar problem when clicking links emailed to you?

404530 2005-11-15 17:50:00 Depending on how many browsers you've installed, make IE the default browser. That maybe why links dont work.

Or get hijackthis www.merijn.org

UNZIP it first, into its own folder. And scan / copy and paste the log here.

404534 2005-11-15 23:26:00 sorry about this, but where do i tick/untick them? once in safe mode. i have turned off system restore. guy_who_doesnt_know_much (9248)
404535 2005-11-15 23:30:00 You run hijackthis again in safe mode, and the entries that appeared, like the first log u posted, tick them then tick fix checked .

After the entries have been ticked and you've ticked fix checked and deleted those entries .

Reboot and post another log here . Make sure u UNZIP hijackthis first, into its own folder, before u run it this time . DON'T run it within the zip file .
