IE Won't Load with 3rd Party Browser Enabled?

L

linaii

I can try to open IE a million times but it won't
actually load it until I manually go into the windows
task manager and end the rundll32 process and all
iexplore processes that never opened. Then it finally
pops up a window...

Well I did do the "disable 3rd party browser extensions"
and it seems to be working fine now (so far). But I had
been using the Google search bar and pop up blocker and
now it's gone because I ofcourse disabled it. I would
like to be able to continue use of it and have IE work at
the same time if at all possible.

I just did a complete restore of the hard drive yesterday
with a backup I had made months ago and IE was working
fine w/ the Google thing running at the time I had made
the backup, so I don't know why it would be causing
problems now.

I use Adaware and it hasn't found anything but "tracking
cookies". I have never used SpyBot before but I did just
now and it found the following stuff listed below
(version 1.2)- Could any of these be the problem and not
Google? Is it safe to clean them or will it do more
damage?

BTW, don't know of it's related but Trend Micro's Virus
Scanner found a malware virus right after I did the
restore and had cleaned it. Info here:

http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?
VName=BKDR_IRCFLOOD.X

Would this malware have the capabilities to cause these
problems? What should I do now?

Hi,
Try BHODemon (freeware) from http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm
You can disable selected BHOs to see which one is causing the problem.

You should also take a look at legitimate programs running in the
background. Disable, one at a time, programs such as anti-virus, security,
ad-blockers, etc. One of them may be causing the problem.

There might be malware which Ad-aware and Spybot didn't find. Try CWShredder
from http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

Finally, posting a HIjackThis log to one of these forums may find something
that the other programs didn't find.
