IE problem

[sprintmp]

'morning all

Got a problem with IE (on another PC). Every time I click on a link, IE closes. It opens the 'home' page OK, but after that nothing. It does this will all sites - even the MS update site.

I've scanned for viruses (Corporate McAfee) but none found. No entries in the Event Log.

I'm sure I've heard of this before a long time ago.

IBM T41p running XP SP2

Any ideas?

Thanks

Just one - forget IE and install Firefox

www.mozilla.com/firefox/

No idea I'm afraid. Have you tried running a spyware scan? It could be some kind of toolbar/IE add-on that has managed to install itself on your PC.

It's probably also worth checking the Application Event Log to see if IE is registering an error when it closes.

almost certainly a hijacker/trojan can't remember which one AV probable won't pick it up try to download a free trojan scanner
see if it helps

Run AdAware and Spybot - problem solved.
