    Google Favourites

    Hi Guys,

    I use Google as my search engine. It is working okay but the minute I click on 'Favourites' I get a message saying that Microsoft has encountered a problem and needs to close down and the internet browser closes.

    Any kind advice?

    Many thanks.

    Try this:

    1. Click Start, run, type inetcpl.cpl and click OK.
    2. Click the Advanced tab.
    3. Under Browsing, uncheck the "Enable third-party browser extensions (requires restart)" check box.
    4. Click OK.

    If this works for you your next step is as follows:

    Please follow the instructions HERE & then post your log in a new thread in the Spyware, Adware, Viruses and HijackThis Logs section.
    (Not in this section please).

    As the above behavior is initiated by a virus.

    Hello Jephree,

    That was very kind of you to send a prompt suggestion but, unfortunately, it
    has not resolved the problem.

    Kind regards,

    Parkhead

    I would still suggest running a HijackThis log by our Pros in that section.

    What is your Operating System? If XP you could try a System Restore to a point prior to the problem.
