internet explorer could not open the search page

My apologies - I posted this to the wrong forum - please redirect - thanks Please can you help me? I have attached the current log file of HJT.Īs the computer is a few miles away, I cannot respond immediately to any suggestions, but I'll do what I can. It is also not possible check for e-mail either. IE looks as if it is about to find the website asked for, then it pops-up with 'Internet Explorer could not open the search page'. I then installed SP2 - probably quite the wrong thing to do I suspect and this had absolutly no effect on the problem. I also went into safe-mode and ran About:Buster, SmitRem SpSeHjfix and no evident problems were found! I ran Microsoft anti-spyware beta and it found just one incident of spyware and removed it. It is possible to ping an URL and the IP address is found and packets returned with no problem.

I then ran Norton again and it did not find any virus's either! I ran AVGFree and a virus was healed, but it was not the same one found by NAV. Norton 2002 had found but could not remove it. A friend asked me to look at his computer when he found that IE would not find any web pages and no program could find it's server to update.
