    All of my browers stop working sporadically
    « on: April 27, 2009, 10:55:36 AM »
    This is a repost from almost 2 weeks ago, I havn't gotten any reponses. I really need help with this.

    All of my browers (IE, Firefox, and Opera) stop working sporadically, and the only way I can get them to work is to do a hard shutdown. My system will not allow me to do a soft shutdown, or reset when the browsers stop working. I am still able to use instant messengers when this happens. I had a virus a few days ago but I don't think it is completely gone, even though the virus was causing a completely different problem (see six pointed star post) Here are the logs that were mentioned to post.

    It doesn't appear to be a malware issue.

    A few things to try.

    Reset settings for Internet Explorer 6

    Reset Explorer Settings IE 6

    Reset Settings in Internet Explorer 7

    Reset Explorer Settings IE 7

    ----------

    Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode?

    IE7 in No Add-ons mode

      1. Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without Add-ons;

      2. Start > (All) Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer
      (No add-ons).

    Troubleshooting and Internet Explorer’s (No Add-ons) Mode:
