IE says this and then shuts down when loading the first
attempted webpage. Anyone know how to fix it?
 
Hi, I've just have the same problem (
(e-mail address removed) ) any help most greatful, i'll watch
on this message.
 
Problem fixed.. I should have read further with other
posts. The post by Mike Burgess fixed the problem. The
Hijackthis tool worked fine although I did have to run it
twice.
 
Graham,
This problem appears to be from the following:
Note: AdRoar adware was bundled with other files you downloaded

Note: shows up in HijackThis as:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {E0F0E0E1-5D45-11D4-BC00-2DCC73302D70}
- C:\WINDOWS\system32\cpr.dll

[more info]
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/adware.adroar.html

Go to: http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/
Download "Hijack This!" [freeware] or download direct (below):
http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip

Unzip, double-click "HijackThis.exe" and Press "Scan".

With IE closed:

Rescan with HijackThis: Select: the above "02" entry
Remove the above entry by checking the box to the left and clicking 'fixed
checked'

Since the above was bundled with other possible parasites:

There are two possible entries in the registry for this DLL.
