Web browser problems
Web browser problems
I'm running XP, and Internet Explorer wouldn't work if I opened up a second page - it came up with a Data Execution Prevention Error and closed. The first window is fine, but I can't open up a second window or tab. Firefox is fine but Google Chrome doesn't work at all - when I start it up it just hangs, won't go to any web pages.
Tried disabling all IE add-ons and restoring all advanced settings to default - no difference.
I tried System Restore to a checkpoint from yesterday and that failed. I don't hold out a lot of hope that it would help even if it worked though, since I thought it seemed more like DLL problems than just settings.
I removed IE 8 and went back to IE 7. That worked fine. Can't remember if I tried Google Chrome at the time though.
Reinstalled IE 8 via Windows Update - second window/tab still won't open. No DEP errors this time, window just flashes open for a second then closes.
Edit - I also removed and reinstalled Google Chrome, and Google Chrome still won't work.
Any ideas ?

It must be spyware/malware, I think that's when you get that error message. Have you run any checks?

Tried rebooting in safe mode with networking - same problem.
Tried turning off all startup items and non-MS services via msconfig and rebooting, same problem.
Tried turning off DEP for IE by going into the Advanced Tab on My Computer Properties, same problem.

27-10-2016, 02:30 AM #5I haven't run a malware scan because I didn't think that could be it, but I will give it a go.

Is that hijack thingy the best tool for spyware nowadays then? Haven't used it before but will do from now on if it's the best one

Everytime I've had a browser problem it's been spyware related, so was just my first thought - it wasn't backed up by any real knowledge

27-10-2016, 02:51 AM #8To be honest, if someone else had reported the same thing to be, I would have suggested malware too. It's only because I'm so careful about what I click on etc, that it didn't actually cross my mind as a possibility myself ! :laugh:
