Internet Explorer settings problem

[Redoak]

I run XP-Pro. After two years, Internet Explorer does not activate some
"buttons." The only error message has been supplied by Yahoo Mail, which
advises my browser settings will not allow automoatically moving to a new
URL. In the other instances simply nothing happens. This is a major problem,
since it makes it impossible to use Microsoft websites among other major
URLs.
How do I fix this problem. Thanks.

What does a scan with a current antivirus program (meaning a version not
earlier than 2002 and using updated virus definitions) show? Also,
remove spyware with Spybot Search & Destroy from
www.safer-networking.org and Ad-aware from www.lavasoftusa.com. Be sure
to update these programs before running them. These programs are free,
so run them both since they complement each other. It is best to run
antivirus and spyware removal tools in Safe Mode. You may also need to
run CWShredder from http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/index.html .
Please read the instructions carefully. A great resource for dealing
with spyware is http://www.spywareinfo.com. Also, make sure you've
visited Windows Update and applied all security patches. Make sure you
are running a firewall.
