===================================================
This is probably due to a spyware program
but could also possibly be a virus.
Let's do this:
Control Panel | Internet Options | General tab
Delete all cookies
Delete all temporary internet files
(include all offline content)
Remove all Downloaded Program Files
To do that, you click on that "settings"
button and then click on the "View Objects"
button and then right click and choose remove
for all of them, if any, one at a time.
Some of them may not remove. Don't worry about that.
Close the Downloaded Program Files window,
Click OK to the Settings window.
Now clear History
Now click on the "Advanced" tab at the top
of Internet Options.
In the Browsing section, uncheck the box for
"Enable third-party browser extensions (requires restart)"
Click "Apply" and then "OK" at the bottom
of Internet Options
Close out of Control Panel
START > RUN > cmd
(Command Prompt window should open)
Type in the following commands, pressing Enter after each command:
cd\
cd windows\system32\drivers\etc
ren hosts oldhosts
exit
START > RUN > regsvr32 /u winshow.dll
(Click OK if this command succeeds - if it does not, don't worry about it)
Restart the computer
START > RUN > cmd
(Command Prompt window should open)
Type in the following commands, pressing Enter after each command:
cd\
cd windows
del winshow.dll
del winshow.cfg
del dict.dat
(those delete commands may or may not work)
exit
Restart computer
See if you can now browse the Internet with Internet Explorer
If yes:
Download Ad-Aware 6.0 181 Anti Spyware program
and install it, update it and scan your system with it
and delete any spywares that may be found. If you have a
working Anti Virus program, then update it and scan with it,
otherwise use one of these free online virus scanners:
