duiborm.exe

Hi

I'm new to this forum and I'm not sure if this is the place to post. but here goes:

I've recently changed to broadband: btinternet.com (which involves Yahoo and the Yahoo browser). Because I don't like their browser I still use standard IE.

Ever since my IE has been unstable, hanging up often (not responding). Worst, each time I switch on I get a system not responding message about "duiborm.exe". I'm invited to report the error to Microsoft.

This started happening after 1 time when I had to task manager halt a mysterious process that was top of the list and seemd to be causing the hang-up.

I've no idea what this is. I've scoured the Web, my registry, pc - everything but cannot find any mention of it.

Anyone got any ideas.

TIA

Hi Chaslang

Thanks very much for the reply. Since wriing I've been experimenting with and using various anti-spy, anti-virus and firewall packages, some as recommended on this site.

I had a load of faffing and system hang-ups during the process but I seem to have got rid of the problem, and everything seems pretty stable now.

Your kind advice is useful to "cut out and keep" for future problems.

Cheers

Terry
