O/S = Win98
Adware search engine threat "iefeats" hijacking homepage.
Had to keep changing homepage after every computer restart
but otherwise was able to work with Internet Explorer as
normal.
Upgraded to IE Explorer 6 & Installed NISP2004. Result =no
longer able to open Internet Explorer- error message/
Program shut down.
NISP2004 unable to delete adware completely.
Deleteed manually offending *.dll files and corresponding
items in Register and Threat seems now to be gone. IE Pref
show Homepage OK.
Still getting error however which from what I've read in
articles posted here, seems to be connected to latest IE 6
browser.
Does not appear to be video driver problem as no
improvement after following steps per Section B of
F.Saunders posting 5/6/2004.
Control Panel shortcut on Start menu and Sometimes opening
Windows Explorer can also cause crash.
Sample Error details: -
EXPLORER caused an invalid page fault in
module KERNEL32.DLL at 017f:bff7b9f5.
Registers:
EAX=7fc39e61 CS=017f EIP=bff7b9f5 EFLGS=00010202
EBX=01e2ffbc SS=0187 ESP=01df0000 EBP=01df0024
ECX=01df1df8 DS=0187 ESI=00000001 FS=6f8f
EDX=00000001 ES=0187 EDI=816e5ee8 GS=0000
Fault address almost always same & also Registers first row
and second column.
(Not computer expert so hope not including irrelevant
info.)
I'm hoping that the extra detail provided above might
enable somebody to recognise exactly what is causing this
problem
and advise a solution as I have spent time trying to fix
this and seem to be getting bogged down.
Cheers.
