winshow.dll

[melonid]

I have trouble using my IE, keep getting the error
message regarding Mod Name: winshow.dll, Mod Ver:
1.0.0.8. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Are
there any patches to resolve this error message? Any
assistance would be appreciated. Thanks, Doug

Doug,

Try this but be careful, backup your registry before editing!!

To eliminate the Winshow pestilence, you need to edit the Registry. Like this:

Navigate to and delete the keys:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{6CC1C918-AE8B-4373-A5B4-28BA1851E39A}

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WinShow.ViewSource

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WinShow.ViewSource.1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\CLSID\{6CC1C918-AE8B-4373-A5B4-28BA1851E39A}

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\WinShow.ViewSource

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\WinShow.ViewSource.1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Browser Helper Objects\{6CC1C918-AE8B-4373-A5B4-28BA1851E39A}

Next, search the Registry for Winshow and delete all.

Then, search your system for Winshow and delete all, if still present.

Finally, reboot. That should eliminate the scum.

Good luck,

Zee
