awbassett Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Recently I found that certain links in emails and on certain websitesinstantly shut down explorer as soon as I click them.I ran Norton AntiVirus last night and it didn't seem to fix it.Any suggestions? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_Broke_My_MHZ Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Exploits exist that enable someone to close/crash a browser, but it is more likely that IE is just getting errors and closing automatically. Have you updated to the latest version of IE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epic Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 This is caused by malware, which has installed itself on your pc, run hijackthis, check for invalid entries and suspicious files (google them if needed, research). Install antivirus software and spyware applications on your pc as well. Scan your pc for antivirus' and spyware and remove the invalid entries, also run a registry cleaner.Requirment for all Home user's:SpywareGuard (Resident Protection)SpywareBlasterMicrosoft Windows AntiSpywareRegistry Cleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awbassett Posted December 16, 2005 Author Share Posted December 16, 2005 I'll have to check my version of IE but it is set to automaticallyupdate when there's a new version so I should be good on that.I've ran Norton Antivirus and I use Spysweeper and they show nothing.Norton did however detect a virus this week that took over my background.Now I'm unable to edit my wallpaper at all.My Desktop settings under "Display" are frozen.But this happened after the link thing.I would have thought Spysweeper would fix my problem but I guessI'll have to try something else.Thanks for the info.
