Windows Media player won't work?!

Windows media won't work, page cannot be displayed. Cannot find server or DNS error. Ran ADware and spy bot, no luck... Can someone please help I have a log file from Hijack this.

Thank you

 

This is not right:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Microsoft Internet Explorer] C:\WINDOWS\System32\IEXPLORE.EXE

Do an online virusscan, you will find several listed here: http://www.wilders.org/free_services.htm

Also upload the file C:\WINDOWS\System32\IEXPLORE.EXE at the Kaspersky and DrWeb sites (where you can have single files checked)

Let us know the results.

Pieter

 

The file could be hidden.

See HERE for how to show hidden files.

Please reply in this thread. The PM feature is not meant for asking support.

Pieter,

Sorry for the PM wasn't sure how to get you again. I unhid the files and still can't seem to find IEXPLOE.EXE.

Please reply.

Many thanks,

When you do a Find Files for it, does it only find the real one in the Internet Explorer folder?

Pieter,

When I do a find files, I get no results. Does file exist??

Thanks,

Check the spelling. You are using Windows XP, right?

In that case there has to be a file called iexplore.exe
at the very least in
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer

Find this file C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\hosts and rename it to hosts.bak

Then try again.
