dilemma

[Erwin Herbst]

I did all mentioned herein, to no avail. Would removing
and reinstalling IE help?

Erwin,

Download all of these utilities and scan the system.

Note: Spyware removers are rules-based and are updated
very frequently as and when new malware is discovered.
Therefore, update both of these tools before scanning,
very important.

Lavasoft Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
SpyBot S&D - http://www.safer-networking.org/
CWShredder :

Then, reset the 'Prefix' and the 'Search' preferences
using this fix:

I click on URL on a certain page, and instead of opening
the proper page, I get something www.errorplace.com,and
that very quickly transfers its self to
www.linkexchange.com...
now, what makes this real strange, is that I have no
trouble manuvering the same pages on a different computer,
so I KNOW that the problem is NOT on the web page, but on
MY computer. I'm scraching my brain for over a week.
I've tried Norton Anti-virus... clean as whistle... tried
Ad-Aware.. clean as a whistle... I am stuped. any and all
ideas are appreciated. PLEASE email me

Hi

You can't 'remove' IE, but you try repairing it:

XP"

Erwin,
errorplace.com is mentioned several times on this page
http://www.netrn.net/archives2/000378.html Use IE> Edit> "Find on page" to
find instances of errorplace. There's not a clear, obvious solution.

Go to The Parasite Fight - Quick Fix Protocol:
http://www.aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm Work through the preliminary steps then
post a HijackThis log to the forum at
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30

They'll advise you as to what to remove.
