I am having a problem with trying to open IE 7 or update programs (i.e. malwarebytes)The odd thing is my Firefox works fine. It all started when I had some how obtained a slew of trojan/viruses that screwed up my taskbar and my IE would constantly have pop-ups every hour while I was using Firefox. I used Spybot, Malwarebytes and VundoFix to get rid of the problems. Well I apparently had a large amount of trojans and the problems that seemed to go away until I tried to open IE. It appears my iexplorer.exe is corrupt or something because it says the following when I open up IE:

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

What you can try:
Diagnose Connection Problems

More information

I did the diagnostic tool fix and it said :

Because I am not a tech wiz I am looking for help with my problem from anyone. I have also included my Hijack Log as well below:

Please ignore the last post. I am new to this and posted it in the wrong thread. Sorry for the mistake.


I had this same problem. IE would not connect to the internet nor could I do updates of the malware program. May i offer a suggestion that I discovered that worked for me?
