Outlook Express

[Brian Russell]

I keep getting an annoying Internet Explorer error window
when I am on the net that interferes with whatever I am
doing: INTERNET EXPLORER HAS ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM AND
NEEDS TO SHUT DOWN, ETC. There is not help in Microsoft.
The only article on this covers a "beta" installation. My
Windows XP was bought a retail store and I went a year or
so without any problems. Anybody know the solution to
this one? Thanks

Check your system for "hijackware":

Help with Hijackware
http://aumha.org/a/parasite.htm
http://aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/Darnit.htm

CoolWebSearch Chronicles
http://www.merijn.org/cwschronicles.html

Run these tools in the following order with nothing else running in
background:

1. CWShredder (fix all found)

2. Ad-Aware (fix all found)

3. Spybot (RTFM but generally fix everything in red)

Important: You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each
and every use, even "right out of the box". But even they can't catch
everything, 24/7. When all else fails, HijackThis
(http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post
your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or
http://forum.mvps.org/viewforum.php?f=30 for expert analysis, not here.**

[Alternate download pages for many of the above tools may be found at
http://aumha.org/a/parasite.htm.]

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
