Everytime I click my internet explorer this message comes up "Internet explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Does anybody know how to fix this problem? shit just started doing this a few days ago...I gotta use the sbc yahoo dsl browser, thing is annoying.

Starting up in "Safe mode with Network support" seems to bypass this problem and IE fuctions normally. This leads me to believe that some third party program is causing the problem.

* Here is the workaround i found that worked for me. Go to Control Panel, Internet options. Next, go to Advance Tab.
Uncheck "Enable third party browser extension"
Click OK *

With Windows XP this worked right away for me, but you might have to restart computer. If you have multiple profiles setup on your computer, you will have to do this for each profile.


ALSO

try to download

adaware and run it.

I think that's I-Lookup.

Try this uninstaller:

http://www.pchell.com/downloads/uninstall.exe


Or this one if it's the newer version:

http://www.pchell.com/downloads/uninstall2.exe


This link has a bunch of those programs that attatch to Internet Explorer.

Ad-Aware should remove them also.

You've got a homepage hijacker on your system. Run this program:
