IE not letting me go on overclockers!!!! [PANIC]

[Solouko]

ok, i thought it was just the stupid tiscali download accelerator that was installed on my system messing everything up but it's fixed now and i still cant access overclockers right.

when i click on a link either in the forums of the main site the browser does nothing and all the links on the page stop functioning and if i try to refresh the page everything disapears and i'm left with

<!--

on a compleatly blank page -__-'

the only way i can open anything up is to "open in new window" but when you're browsing on OcUK for a new comp.. that ain't practical

any thoughts?

spyware or malware possibly? do a spybot search and destroy search and a ad-aware search.

Have you tried another browser?
I have four on mine which are (in the order I use them) -

Firefox
Opera
Netscape
IE

 

[Sagi3]

I find firefox to be the most superior browser by far!

Do you have any toolbars installed? Google?

what about a dodgy entry in your hosts file? (though its odd that it would target ocuk)

 

[|Ric|]

ah didnt read the last line it won't be the hosts file, surely that has to be spyware

maybe run hijackthis and post it on a forum that offers help in that aspect (or post it here? - just don't seen many people doing it)

are you sure it wouldnt be my host file? and if it was... what could i do to try and correct it, btw how do you reset your router? i can give that a try too!

it might not just be ocuk but it's the only website i've been on latly but if i find any more i'll tell you

Tried reinstalling internet explorer? Also, go into internet options and reset everything to default...and check add/remove programs for java andunistall

 

[Solouko]

ok this might sound like a noob question but in my whole life i've never actualy done it.. how do you reinstall internet explorer?

btw, unistalled java and it didnt help

what ever it was it started after installing that stupid web accelerator

Have you tried disabling 3rd party extensions in IE?

Tools > Internet Options > Advanced >

Under the "Browsing" subcategory there is an option titled "Enable thiird-party browser extensions"

Try unchecking that, restarting it and seeing if it works?


To remove internet explorer, in add/remove programs on the left there should be an option "Add/Remove windows components", although from my experience you can still get IE to run when it's been uninstalled

 

[punisher46]

IS there definately nothing that looks dodgy in add/remove programs? Starbar, hotbar, something along those lines....

We get people installing them at work and get loads of errors with ie...
