Cannot Type in Internet Explorer

[victor]

I'm having a problem where I can can't type in Internet
Explorer. I try to click on the MSN search box at the top
of the browser and nothing happens.
I will get a few errors
Error 96
84
30
Unspecified Error

Running
Windows XP Home

Any help appreciated.

Check for parasites.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

Let AD-Aware Scan your system for advertising Spyware

and:

SpyBot-S&D

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.

More: This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.
