I had the same problem - unable to download any files... and your fix
worked
like magic.
The offending GUID {56FFCC30-D398-11D0-B2AE-00A0C908FA49} was from an old
install of Norton AntiVirus. Deleting this key cured the problem and
downloads now work fine!!!
Many thanks for the help and the cure...
Bill Sanderson said:OK--I've got a full-scale final recipe for this one, but it isn't just
chicken soup, I'm afraid:
1) start, run,
regsvr32 "c:\program files\windows defender\mpoav.dll"
enter
Adjust the drive letter if needed for your system.
This should yield a success message. If it does not, check for typos
(yours
or mine!) and check that mpoav.dll exists in \program files\windows
defender.
2) (this is the hard part)
- Search for other IOfficeAntivirus products to repair
o Launch regedit, and search for this GUID:
{56FFCC30-D398-11D0-B2AE-00A0C908FA49}
§ Clsid's implementing this GUID are IOfficeAntivirus Providers
o For each key found like this:
§ [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{%GUID%}\Implemented
Categories\{56FFCC30-D398-11D0-B2AE-00A0C908FA49}]
§ Either delete the key if the product is no longer installed, or
re-register the COM object associated with it.
When I did this search in my own registry, I found the GUID in several
places, but only two keys of the form specified above--when the search
stopped on those, I backed up a couple of lines to where I could see what
product was associted with the entry--in each case it was Windows
Defender.
Mind you--my machine has been "cured" already!
Here's an example.
Search stops on a key with the above GUID value, which is a subkey of
"Implemented Categories."
Above that are urlmon, shdocvw, hots, and another GUID. Backing up to
that
GUID I was able to see that it was associated with Windows Defender.
So--I did not need to deal with that final step of re-registering the COM
object. Frankly--I don't know how to do that at this point--so if you
are
up for it--do a little careful exploring of the registry and let's see
what
you find?
