Seems like I got this too.
I reckon it happened after I tested firefox.
If I open IE first & then click on a link it is ok.
Looking at assoc in file types etc, it has OPEN set as ...........
"C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\doggy.EXE" -nohome
& if I try to change it, I can't. (or won't stick)
If I right click on the html file I have in my docs & select "open with" &
try ticking the box to "always use this program", & then browse to IE
executable, it just won't turn up in the list of programs.
Scans turn up nothing.
Where the hell is "doggy" coming from?
