Internet explorer shutting down

a11waysindebt

Hi
Internet explorer has an habit of shutting down also I've been losing a couple of files lately, I can only get these to work again after the software is reinstalled.

I've updated windows but to no avail.

Any ideas.

Thanks

I heartily recommend Firefox - even when it shuts down it saves your tabs etc

Losing files as well as the IE problem points to a virus or suchlike to me

If you dont use a proxy (If you dont know what one is then you certainly dont), FIX this using hijack ~
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int ernet Settings,ProxyServer = webcache.virginmedia.com:8080

Then/or TICK these in hijack then click to FIX them ~

Then it seems you dont have any anti virus software running, really NOT recommended (May I ask what programs you SCANNED with to start with?)

Download AVIRA (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
http://www.filehippo.com/download_antivir/
This is your new anti virus. UPDATE it then scan the entire computer (Including any USB drives etc you may use)

Then (or if AVIRA wont install) ~
Please run COMBOFIX

Follow the simple instructions it gives
Post the COMPLETE log it creates here (Split into sections if need be)

If it comes up with a RENAMING error then RIGHT click the exe file and RENAME and call it QWERTY (Making the complete file name 'QWERTY.exe') Or SAVE as 'QWERTY' on download

Hi
I was running a free version of avast but removed it last night just incase it was causing problems with computer and closing it down. I will download the ones you suggested and see what happens.

Many thanks for your help.
