If you have had a virus recently or restored your computer to an earlier date you may find that your internet explorer does not work. In this case, it's for the error "

Things You’ll Need:-
- Internet explorer
- Internet security or AV
Steps:-
- There are many reasons that your internet explorer might not work, but one of the major reasons is due to a trojan.downloader..which basically takes over your IE, or mimics it. You've tried a system restore..no luck. You're tried uninstalling and reinstalling-still no luck. Here's a few tips to get your IE back to normal and the virus gone.
- First step is too try hijack this. you can get it from trendmicro website. You will run a scan and then view the results. You can upload the results to a forum to get better help-but if you are like most people-You know what's on your computer and if there is any suspicious file you delete it. Anyway, what you want to do is delete the unimportant BHO helper files that exist on your Internet explorer. You can do this straight from the scan results from hijack this.
- (by unimportant I mean active objects you can download as you need it. For instance, I have adobe PDF and Adobe Contribute bho helper files in IE. I cannot delete those. Anything with flash, java, shockwave etc, you can remove)
- Once you have done that run the scan once again to be sure you got the bho files. Also be sure to look for suspicious files in the rest of the scan results. If IE loads then congrats it should be fixed. But-if it isn't then there is another step to follow.
- This step requires editing your registry. It's not hard if you follow the directions, i promise. :) Please see next step.
- Click on start then click on run. Type in "regedit" which will take you to your registry editor. NOTE: you must be the administrator to be able to edit your registry.
- When your registry is open click on >HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>MICROSOFT>WINDOWS NT>IMAGE FILE EXECUTION OPTIONS>IEXPLORER.EXE (If you see that file, it means your Internet explorer has been hijacked and the trojan is acting as a "debugger") There should be no instance of iexplorer.exe in your "IMAGE FILE EXECUTION OPTIONS". So just click on iexplorer.exe and hit the delete button. Close your registry and then go to internet explorer.
- If it opens, than congrats it's fixed. But it's not fixed all the way. You need to open internet explorer, click on tools, internet options, advanced and then click on "RESET". Reset defaults your IE back to original, it erases all plugins, bho files-this is necessary to do because the virus actually plants a bho help file into Internet explorer.
- Once you have done that then IE should be fine, but to be sure you must run a complete virus scan. Good luck.
