when i try to to connect to internet (home page or any)
nothing happens & no page appears. Message in bottom of
window is badurl.ie-plugin.com. That's all that is
displayed and remainder of screen is blank.

thanks for your help!
 
Use BHO Demon to check what BHOs (browser helper objects) have been
added to IE. Disable them to see if the problem goes away.

Use SpyBot or Ad-Aware to check for spyware on your system.

Run a full and recently updated anti-virus scan on your system.
 
Also see Sandi's excellent write up on IE-Plugin
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/Darnit.htm#ieplugin and Symantec's take on
it
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/adware.ieplugin.html.

SpywareBlaster can help avoid such "drive-by" installs in the future:

and BHO Demon, SpywareBlaster should be updated frequently, too.
