I don't know how to help you. But if IE is your primary browser right now, I think you ought to switch to Mozilla or Firefox...

 

dear Esoom, try checking the box FILE DOWNLOAD in IE TOOLS>INTERNET OPTIONS>SECURITY>INTERNET>security settings. you can tweak your settings to show you multimedia contents too. maybe it'll be more easier to set your security settings to Medium or Medium-Low.

 

it is already on Medium but the same thing still happens

 

Hi Esoom,

There are some entries in your hijackthis log that are probably causing the problem: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=37673

Once those are fixed, you browser will probably work better.

yea but im not sure what to fix...as im not an expert at this hijack this thingy

 

This is almost always a Cache problem.

I don't know what operating system you're running, but do this:

In Win 98 or Millennium, start the computer in MS-DOS mode. If you're running Windows ME, that means starting up with a Boot disk.

Type the following lines from C:\ , pressing ENTER after each one:

cd windows
smartdrv
deltree tempor~1
deltree history

NOTE: Press Y if you are prompted to confirm any deletion
Type win (or 'exit'), or hit ctrl-alt-delete followed by clicking enter in order to return to Windows

NOTE: This is assuming the path to these folders is the default one
Is they're located elsewhere/named differently, adapt the path accordingl.

In Win XP/2000, log in as Administrator, and delete the Docs and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\History and Temporary Internet Files folders.
