Lora316K Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 I will try mozila, but I think it is caused by spyware. I too have lots of it and Spybot can't get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lora316K Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 I had dowloaded mozila and am runing Housecall right now. I keep getting an error: "An error occured while trying to transfer data from the Internet! Do you want Trend Micro HouseCall to try resending the required files. I click ok and in a couple of minets get the same error.Had figured out why I have an error, but mozy also shuts down during the scan. Pleas help me with the problem.Thank you,Lora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I was actually going to post earlier that I thought it was Trend killing IE ungracefully, but I had to run for a bit. Now that I'm back, it looks like you've already discovered that. Have you considered downloading ad-aware, hijackthis and spybot via either Mozilla or IE, and attempting to use those before trying to use Trend again? You may also want to remove Trend completely, attempt to clean the PC properly via the other tools, then attempt to reinstall Trend to see if the problem recurs at that point? Also, msconfig or autoruns to disable all non-Microsoft startup items and services before attempting a cleaning is a useful step to take as well when you suspect a machine may not be clean.

Lora316K Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 I do not have Trend, the only way I use it is online. I will try to get rid of housecall and see if it works. I t have a lots of spyware that Spybot can't get rid of it. I ran Ad-Ware, it found nothing. I had posted HijackThis log alredy, but no reply so far.

thuun derboy Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I used IE7 beta then final, the last ver. makes many troublesome changes to core components of explorer causing problems for some users. I'm sticking with IE6 and Opera for everyday use. I'm reminded at WinUpdate to install but take WU w/ a grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
