Hi,

On one of my machines Internet Explorer 6.o SP1 fails as
soon as I start it. The following message appears in the
Application Log however I haven't been able to find
anything relevant in the Knowledge Base. I have re-
installed IE6 to no avail.

Has anybody out there got any suggestions as to how I
should approach this problem as at the moment I can only
think of rebuilding which will be somewhat disasterous!

regards,

Darragh
 
Well, you left out the error message, but it probably doesn't matter ;-)

From Control Panel> Internet Options> Advanced uncheck "Enable third party
browser extensions." If that allows IE to run, then search for and remove
malware:

Run CWShredder from http://www.merijn.org/downloads.html first. It's been
the most helpful with this problem. It may be the only cleanup program you
need this time.

You can re-enable browser extensions after the cleanup.
