My roommate lists and sells daily on Ebay. Last week every time he tried
to upload an auction to post, IE hung up and and error came up and stated (E
was not responding. Right after he closed it a virus warning showed up and
stated that he had the W32Netsky virus and could not repair or remove the
file.
We made sure that the virus was gone, and ran a system file check (sfc
/scannow ). Then after that we did an in-place upgrade (reinstallation) of
Windows XP , and reinstalled I Explorer 6.0. We then downloaded all the
security updates and service packs from Windows Update page and it still
locks up whenever we try to upload an auction. Any suggestions or help would
be greatly appreciated.
 
Hi,
A few things you might try......
- - -
First, clear the IE cache. IE> Tools> Internet Options> General> Delete
files (and delete offline content when that dialog pops up) It's often
recommended that the TIF folder be kept at about 50 MB (Settings.)
- - -
This upload operation may involve javascript. Try these two commands from
Start> Run
regsvr32 vbscript.dll [enter]
regsvr32 jscript.dll [enter]

Then, you might try a refresh of the scripting engine. Go to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/webdev.asp
for the appropriate download.

Are you sure that the machine is free of malware? Download and run
CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot.
