I am running windows 2000 on a machine and everytime i open IE i get an error message that says IE has encountered and error and needs to close. The strange thing is that its not the normal error message, where you have the option to send an error report. It has a check box that says "Restart Micorsoft Internet Explorer" and another strange thing is if you just move the error message out of the way and you can continue to use IE normally. I disabled script debugging and i still get the same message. I also ran Spybot, Ad-Aware, and Microsoft antispyware bete 1. Each found alot of spyware and it was removed and browser was restored. But i am still getting the same error message when openingn IE. I am downloading a patch for office 2000 that will supposely correct the problem according to microsoft. I do not think it will work though. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this. One more thing, a trojan was detected when i ran antivirus, i think it was called dqsduck.exe or something like that. Also, when i do keep IE with the error message, and try to download something the whole pc crashes and restarts automatically.

i have included a log of hijack this if that helps

Hey Slim, one thing I REALLY suggest you do, Upgrade your OS, winXP is the best bet, but if your strapped for $$$$ win98 is ok. But win2000 is, well, for the lack if a better word, C.R.A.P. It was shipped with numerous flaws, and even a code that makes it crash, (not microsofts finest hour) you can probably get your hands on a copy of WinXP home for $120 AUS, other than that try reinstalling IE, or you OS.

Dan
