HI ALL! I am not sure where this question should go! I have had a problem with IE for a few months, it will only let me open ONE page at a time, if I try to open any more it says it has made an error and must close down.(C:\DOCUME~1\MMC\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER5.Tmp.dir00\appcompat.txt) That is the file it wants to send,usually! If I link every page I go to , which doesn't sound safe to me(?), it works, other than that I have to plod along, The last two weeks, three times, usually early morning , 4 or 5 IE pages opened up, the first time, I clicked each to close them, WHOA! Wrong! Each page spawned 4or more pages and they just kept opening and opening, while I gave up clicking them, it seemed to make it worse !! I had never seen this, my whole desktop was filled with little boxes of IE pages! FINALLY, I got mad and pulled the plug . This has happened the last two days also, WHAT have I got here? Is this the right place to post this ? My computer is making me very jumpy!! I have McAfee Security Suite, CWS shredder, Spyblaster, Spybot, Spywareguard, Win Patrol, F-secure virus checker, the updated MS security cd, all the other updates, AdAware, and even tho I update them and run them - NOTHING??I tried to figure it out myself, but, I can't THANKS for any help you can offer,I also sent a HJT a couple of weeks ago, but,nothing stood out?? Thanks again!!!
Hi Marja! I would suggest that you download HijackThis from http://www.snapfiles.com/get/hijackthis.html Install it in a regular folder, not on your desktop nor in a Temp folder or it will not be able to save backups to the changes it makes. Run it and then post your Log at adware, spyware & hijack cleaning. Note: To post your Log, position the cursor in the Log, press Ctrl+A to select all, then Ctrl+C to copy it. Position your cursor in your post and press Ctrl+V to paste it. The experts there will be happy to help you! Best regards.
Hey! You really are a Prince!! Thanks for the advice, I hesitate to post a HJ log, there are soo many needing help with this Sasser,etc. I will, though, I'm patient and can see how busy everyone is. Thanks, Prince and to all the Forum Friends!
