Hi,
Errors in "unknown" are very often caused by malware (adware, spyware,
parasites, hijackers.)

Download and run CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot (in that order.)
See: http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
Also note the security tips and other important information on that page.

If unsuccessful with those programs, you may have to post a HijackThis log
to one of the forums listed below. You will receive good help at any of
these forums. You might look for a forum that doesn't have too many
unanswered posts. You should also look for the proper forum for HijackThis
logs and a message along the lines of "Important- Read This First."

Or... repairing IE or recreating the Favorites folder may be necessary.
Which version of Windows are you running?

Hope this helps,
