IE will not load

IE will not load for me - 2 days now. Have tried Winsock patch and TCP/IP
reset.

I am using Ad Aware. MSN works fine, which is where I am posting from, so
somebody / something did something to IE.

I use XP and IE 6.

All help appreciated.
 
Hi,
From Control Panel> Internet Options> Advanced> uncheck "Enable third party
browser extensions."

If this allows IE to open, another program is causing the problem.

Work through the solutions (CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot) at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that
page.

If not caused by malware, consider disabling (for diagnostic purposes)
legitimate programs running in the background which might be interacting
with IE- security, antivirus, ad-blockers, toolbars & other add-ons, etc.
You may have to uninstall then reinstall, or not reinstall, a program.

A repair/reinstall of IE may help, if malware isn't the cause. Go to

Hope this helps,

Ad-Aware doesn't catch everything.
See
Dealing with Unwanted Malware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:

Phil,
So, From Control Panel> Internet Options> Advanced> uncheck "Enable third
party
browser extensions" made no difference?

Try disabling legitimate programs running in the background which might be
interacting
with IE- security, antivirus, ad-blockers, toolbars & other add-ons, etc.
You may have to uninstall then reinstall, or not reinstall, a program.

Try a repair/reinstall Go to http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/IEFAQ.htm Tip #12
