    When I open a couple of windows (seperate or tab) sometimes my explorer will lock up and I have to go to the task manager to END TASK.

    Here is a HIJACK THIS copy (or see attacked). Can anyone help?

    If you suspect malware, repost this in malware forum.

    As a test, create a new account & try it out.

    Hi

    Malware is a possible and one I would be chekcing with the above guide to see if that is indeed the cause but for a quick test as I notice a few BHOs in your HJT log, I would run IE in its safe no add-ons mde to test if indeed one of the add-ons is causing this.

    So click Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools and click Internet Explorer (no add-ons ) and see if you get same issues.

    But I would be checking for malware to rule that out.

    I did reset everything from IE to default and restore in the advanced menu. Before that I disabled a lot of add-ons. Afterwards I had to reinstall IE7 so I am not sure if that will work. Maybe it is the Windows Live Toolbar but I use that a lot.

    How would I check for a malware bug. Which 'free' program is the best?
