Problems with Internet Explorer
Just come back from my friend’s- his computer was a mess (from, amongst other things, going to broadband, surfing Kazaa and other similar sites, and not using his Anti-Virus and Spy ware on a regular basis. Ran Spybot and Adaware, and picked up, respectively, 30 and 120 malware objects. Ran AVG, and came up with a virus that won’t go away.
Having successfully run AVG with nothing detected, I successfully connected to the internet. However, whenever I tried to connect to Internet Explorer, AVG flagged up, again and again, a Trojan horse virus by the name of Startpage.16.bd.
On deleting it each time, a box with the white cross in the red circle comes up reading:
RUNdll
Error loading C:Docume~\Richard\locals~-1\Temp\se.dll
Access is denied
Trying again and again came up with the same result. I would try Hijack this, and post on this pprune thread, but he doesn’t have it. I presume I can copy my version on a memory stick, and transfer it to his, and then copy the results for posting?
Anyone any suggestions?
