Hi there all,

I have a small problem that has been causing me loads of
grief. I ave a windows 98 computer with IE6 installed.
When i try to open a web page, it throws up an error
about "an invalid page fault in module (unknown)" Outlook
express works fine, and when i run a cd with an internet
interface, it works fine. I have gone through and tried to
troubleshoot through msconfig, but had no joy as of yet. I
can however boot into safe mode and open internet explorer
therer. I have tried removing and re installing IE as
well.

Does anyone have any additional ideas to help me.

Many thanks.

First eliminate any scumware.

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:

Many thanks Frank. Ran adaware and spybot and cw sgredder
before posting. Neither helped. Have however taken the
bull by the horns, and re-installed 98 over the top. This
has resolved the issue, and now finding over 200 malware
on the system. Many thanks for you input.
