Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and must close.

Hi - Hoping someone can help.
Windows 2K OS
MS Explorer 6.? (can't tell right now, because I can't launch the browser!)
Spybot
CClean
Ad-Aware SE
Zone Alarm
I've run the most recent versions of Ad-Aware and Spybot which did find some issues and removed them, but I still get the "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close." error message. I've read about, installed and have attempted to post Hijack This log files to this thread for your review.

Looking forward to any suggestions you may have.
Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Remove the alot toolbars.

O2 - BHO: ALOT Toolbar - {5AA2BA46-9913-4dc7-9620-69AB0FA17AE7} - C:\Program Files\alot\bin\alot.dll
O3 - Toolbar: ALOT Toolbar - {5AA2BA46-9913-4dc7-9620-69AB0FA17AE7} - C:\Program Files\alot\bin\alot.dll

Also

O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [MOSearch] C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\System\MOSearch\Bin\mosearch.exe
O9 - Extra button: Bonjour - {7F9DB11C-E358-4ca6-A83D-ACC663939424} - C:\Program Files\Bonjour\ExplorerPlugin.dll

That should fix that. If not go into control panel. Then internet options. Then Programs. Then manage addons. Disable them all then try to open IE. If it works add the items one by one (except alot toolbar) to see which one it was.

EDIT - This belongs in the malware section. This is just for fixing the IE error but you have more spyware/virus problems.

 

Kizon,
Thanks for your help! Once I removed the ALOT toolbars using HJT, IE began to work. Not suprisingly, once IE launched, the default web page was ALOT. I've since removed the ALOT toolbars and Bonjour using the Windows Remove/Install Programs. IE Seems to work fine now.

Chaslang,
Thanks for your reply. I will review the "Read & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support" and will post the logs shortly.

Thanks to both of you for your help. It is greatly appreciated!
