I just tried to access IE this morning and I find it is
crashing at other sites as well now, including those on
Yahoo Finance. I tried to reboot the PC and now my
Startup Items including LiveUpdate and Spy Sweeper are not
loading.

Is this a virus at work?

Help

Hi,

i have some assumptions, just check it: first take a closer look, whether
the invoked site
contains any activex object references that will be accessed from your
internet explorer.
if some controls do not work properly you have to fix it, hower it can be
fixed (reinstall, reregister etc.)
or just delete the refrence to the site and create a new one and try to
access your stock
prices again.

if nothing works, try to remove the service pack (if possible) and reinstall
it.
this solves many problems at once in many conditions.


Best Regards

It is possible you have a hijacker, malware, spyware or parasites on your
system that can cause this problem. In addition to running your updated
anti-virus program, you should do the following to be sure none of these
are present on your system. Follow all instructions carefully:

Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
Be sure to run CWShredder, Ad-aware and Spybot.
Also be sure to use the HijackThis. Please do not post your log to this
newsgroup, but to the SpywareInfo or the Aumha HiJackThis forums
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30, to allow the experts there to
evaluate your log and advise you of the necessary steps to clean your
system.

CAUTION!!!!! Before you try to remove spyware using any of the programs
below, download a copy of LSPFIX from any of the following sites:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
(if your OS is Win2k or XP) The process of removing certain malware may kill
your internet connection. If this should occur, this program, LSPFIX, will
enable you to regain your connection.

Also, get a copy of WINSOCKFIX available at:
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
and
AdAware SE
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/
Update immediately after installing before using


If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread

Hope this helps
