On my XP version I have a problem bringing up certain
websites on Internet Explorer......and they are not odd
sites.....Virgin Atlantic's site for instance ! Some
times it allows me access for a few mins but most of the
time it just sends me an ERROR page. One or two other
sites have the same problem but otherwise I have no
difficulty with any other pages. I have run all of the MS
Updates but the problem continues....ANY Help would be
grately appreciated !! Thanks,
It is possible you may have parasites, spyware, adware,
malware, or hijackware on your system causing the problem.
Download and install, you *must* update the programs prior
to running to be sure they have the latest definitions, then
run the programs below. They are free and very effective. Be
sure to run both SpyBot and Adaware, as what one does
not detect the other may. Follow all instructions carefully.
SpyBot Search & Destroy: Free

or

AdAware: Free

CWShredder: Free

HiJackThis: - Free
Go to
http://computercops.biz/downloads-cat-14.html ,
or
http://tinyurl.com/2oce8
or
http://tinyurl.com/2atxk
and download HiJackThis. Unzip to a folder other than your Desktop or the
Temp folder, doubleclick HiJackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".
When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button. Press that, save the log some place you remember where it is. Most
of
what it lists will be harmless or even required, so DO NOT fix anything yet.
Open a the copy of your log in NotePad and made a copy. Then you can go here
to post you log:
http://forum.aumha.org/
Go to the HiJackThis section on the forum list and click to open. You can
post as a guest. It's also a good site to keep for reference. The experts
there will analyze the log and report back the results. Please allow at
least a few hours or a days time for a response.
Remember, you must return to the HJT site to get your answer. It is a good
idea to click the "Notify" box so that you will get an electronic
notification by e-mail to let you know when a response has been posted.
But, you must still return to the site of your answer
