Found this on Google.

IE load object were missing. You must delete some key on
HLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Object
s\{XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX} (If you guess this is the problem)
and delete all key {XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX} in registry

If you have this key you can remove it. But not knowing and remove the files
associated with it may recreate the key.
Example:
In case you have installed iMesh on your computer,
You must delete all key is "{c900b400-cdfe-11d3-976a-00e02913a9e0}"

DO NOT delete or change the registry unless you know what you are doing.


Why not check for parasites safely first.

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
http://www.lavasoftusa.com

If you use a HOSTS file, beware of this new issue.
Ad-Aware has decided to include a new detection when scanning the HOSTS
file. This now creates a "Bad hosts file entry" in the log file generated at
the end of a scan. The best thing to do is to place a check in each entry,
right-click and select: "Add selection to ignorelist". Otherwise if you let
AWW "fix" these items it will trash the HOSTS file! Even if you have it
"locked" by [example] SpywareBlaster or Winpatrol. It does not return the
attributes and renames the HOSTS file incorrectly to hosts.

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.
