can't open IE

I ran the malware removal program and my logs are clean, but I cannot open Internet Explorer. Chaslang has referred me to your board for help.

I can run Mozilla Firefox and surf the web with no problem.

I tried uninstalling IE8 and it did no good. I tried the Microsoft Fixit software and it would not run.

I never had a problem until this latest malware issue.

Can you help me, please. I must use Internet Explorer to run my business software.

the page comes up, but it does not connect.

 

ie opens but it just sits there showing "connecting...." and it sticks there. There is no error message. I can leave it there for 10 minutes and nothing happens.

I have to close it through ctrl-alt-del

 

I used the freeware Tweeking from MG and it did the trick. Thank you for your help

 

I have noticed something new. When I install a program like Spywareblaster, or Firefox, etc. no desktop shortcut is created.

When I installed Spyware Blaster I received the message: "CoCreate Instance failed: code 0x80040154. Class not registered."

These programs are installed but I have to go find them in my C drive.

Any ideas?
