What file type?

If it is only .exe files, then read on and see if this is relevant:
You may have an invalid plugin.
Netscape-Style Plug-ins Do Not Work After Upgrading Internet Explorer
[Q303401]
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;303401

Remove the plugin with Regedit.exe
Start-Run-Regedit.exe
Navigate down to this key and remove it, after exporting it as a
normal safety precaution.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Plugins\Extension\.exe

If that key exists, then you will see what plugin has been installed.
The key does not normally exist.

If not only .exe files, try this:
Blank Web Page with Placeholder Icon and You Cannot Save a File to
Disk

I found more emtries.
: Free Download Manager Click Catcher Plug-In for Netscape, Opera, Mozilla

Content Type: application/x-msdownload

Location: Netscape Browser\PLUGIN\npfdm.dll

Version: 1.0

Witch of the should I delete and what should I search for to rename to *.bak?

 

[Alan Edwards]

???

Delete the Registry key as suggested.
Rename the file npdfm.dll to npfdm.bak as suggested.

C:\Program\Free Download Manager
C:\Program\Mozilla Firefox\plugins
C:\Program\Netscape\Netscape\plugins
C:\Program\Netscape\Netscape Browser\plugins

I have the npfdm.dll file in all this folders. In what folder should I
rename the *.dll to backup?

 

[Alan Edwards]

"C:\Program\Netscape\Netscape Browser\plugins" is probably the one,
although I suspect you made a typo when you said it was here:
Location: Netscape Browser\PLUGIN\npfdm.dll

The location in the Registry should have told you EXACTLY where it was
(before you deleted the key)
