Explorer errors in unknown are nearly always the result of having unwanted
malware on the system, often a parasite of some form. This might be a good time to download yourself a copy of the free Ad-Aware 6.0 from Lavasoft (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and also SpyBot Search & Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and use them to check your system for other commercial parasites remembering that they are only as good as when you last updated their reference files. I also use a program called BHODemon (http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm that checks for unwanted Browser Help Objects and SpywareBlaster (http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html) which can help prevent some parasites getting a grip on your PC. Just is case the problem is due to a new version of the CoolWebSearch parasite you might want to download and run the CWShredder which targets that specific parasite. Unfortunately neither AdAware or SpyBot seem to be able as yet to fully detect all the various versions of the CoolWebSearch parasite as it keeps changing. For more details of the CoolWebSearch parasite see http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html. CWShredder, merijn's removal tool, can be downloaded from either: http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip or http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip Finally if you still continue to experience problems download a copy of HijackThis from (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html). Create a folder called hijackthis on C: and copy the file you downloaded to that folder. Close as many applications as you can including all instances of Internet Explorer and then run hijackthis.exe and post back the log, provided that it isn't too long, to this thread, otherwise to the HijackThis Forum at http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or alternatively http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30 and hopefully this will enable someone to identify the cause of your problem.

Thanks for the feedback. I ran Ad Aware and deleted about
92 items. Spybot Search and Destroy removed another item or two. BHO demon identified a couple BHO's that they hadn't seen before. These are pasted below.

Mike, thank you for your kind assistance. I posted on the
'hijack this' forum as well. You told me the same things that they did. I removed the offending items and IE now starts up for me. It was really nice to get a prompt response from this post as well as the other. =20 -----Original Message----- Jeff, As I possibly mentioned this isn't really the best place for deep analysis of=20 such posts so will only make a few comments: BHODemon: I'd certainly disable addsx32.dll if you have not already done so. Likewise the reference to {52CF3EB4-FD29-DF6D-430F-8C449DA50F02} although=20 there appears to be no file involved. HijackThis: I don't think you want O18 - Protocol: icoo - {4A8DADD4-5A25-4D41-8599-CB7458766220} - (no file) You seem to have removed the associated file (msopt.dll and ) but is I think=20 part of the CoolWebSearch parasite. I'd also remove O18 - Protocol: relatedlinks - {CD8D1CAA-FE4A-45DF-A06C-028AAF1821DE} - (no file) I also don't like the look of O16 - DPF: {BD11A280-2E73-11CF-B6CF-00C0C0C0CDDD} - http://213.150.35.16/dialer/de/dac631.cab I hope this is of some help and that you can resolve your problem and get rid=20 of the message 'Explorer has caused an error in unknown.

Jeff,
Thanks for the feedback but remember that it was you who did the hard work. :-) All I and those at the HijackThis forum did was point you in the right direction. Regards, -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Jeff H wrote: Mike, thank you for your kind assistance. I posted on the 'hijack this' forum as well. You told me the same things that they did. I removed the offending items and IE now starts up for me. It was really nice to get a prompt response from this post as well as the other. |
