Re: problem launching internet Explorer

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



This may be caused by spyware/malware that's gotten installed on
your system. Use Ad-Aware, MSAS and/or Spybot Search & Destroy to remove it.


Microsoft Anti-Spyware (beta) http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx
Ad-Aware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
Spybot: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html
Good sites on how to install and use Spybot -

Also download a winsock repair tool, to have just in case cleaning up anything found breaks it -

Winsock repair tools:
LSPFix- all versions of Windows http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.zip
Winsock2 Fix- Win98, ME http://www.bu.edu/pcsc/internetaccess/winsock2fix.html
LavaSoft- all versions of Windows- http://digital-solutions.co.uk/lavasoft/whndnfix.zip


More information here:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/
http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/Darnit.html
http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/ - runs a little script when loading page to
check for common parasites

If no joy, in IE go to Tools...Internet Options...Advanced tab, Browsing
section, uncheck "Enable third-party browser extensions", click Apply, click
Okay, reboot.  If that solves your problem, then more troubleshooting is
needed to find out exactly which program, or Browser Helper Object (BHO) is
causing this problem.  You don't want to leave it at that, as some BHOs are
useful or necessary - like Adobe Acrobat for reading .pdf files or an
essential component of Norton AV. Get BHODemon -
http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm - read all about BHOs.
Disable all items, and then gradually replace one or two at a time to narrow
down the culprit.

Or if you have IE 6 SP-2 you can do this within the browser:

If all the above fails, then the problem could be something new that the
spyware cleaners above don't have in their databases yet.  In that case....
HijackThis direct download:

parasite experts:

Or the other HijackThis Logs forums listed here:

Or try this program to get some of the most nasty malware:

Hello,
I have Internet Explorer version:
6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519.
Now whenever I launch Internet Explorer. The Memory Usage of ieexplorer.exe
increases to 31000K and raises an error - Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library


Runtime error : cannot start the thread.

also application error is displayed - the exception unknown software
exception (0x4000015) occured in the application at location 0x0a5a380c.

Click OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to DEBUG the program

If click on OK the Internet Explorer closes.

which in turn affects the virtual memory and message of low virtual memory
is displayed.

I tried to increase the virtual memory but of no use.

How can solve this problem or repair the Internet Explorer, or download and
reinstall the above mentioned version of Internet Explorer.


Thank you

.
