Question : XP Search Companion & IE 6 Freeze Up MY System
About a month ago I had a rash or virus problems hit my machine. I am running XP SP1 and IE 6 SP1 on a High Speed DSL Line. I spent over a week getting rid of Home Search Assistant, Shopping Wizard, & Search Extender. Just when I thought all was well or better it seems now I have a system that is nothing but trouble.
· Search Companion doesnt open from the Start bar, when selected the action just freezes the system for 30 seconds. Search companion does work however from the My Computer icon.
· When I open IE it either doesnt open or takes over 60 seconds to open.
· Hyper links wont open. They, like Search Companion just freeze up the system for 30 seconds.
· I have Ad-aware 6, Spybot Search & Destroy 1.3, NoAdware v2.0, CWShredder v1.59.1, and Im running Norton SystemWorks. All are updated and when I run them they seem to be picking up things but still I have problems.
· When I run Netscape Communicator 7 (by backup browser) it seems to work ok.
Spybot always returns the same info:
