nixy Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I keep getting a bloody pop up saying internet explorer has stopped working - BUT it hasn't and it doesn't close down or interfere with anything. I'm using vista. Anyone know how i can stop it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I'd try running the free checkers that were listed in here viewtopic.php?f=13&t=25399&hilit=sarnie+virus CC cleaner and Malwarebytes. Then see if the problem is real. I'm sure an actual geek will have better advice though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 it looks genuine but i'll run a scan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 it looks genuine but i'll run a scan You have a virus. Run a scan or go back to a restore point: > Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore Select a date when this problem wasn't occuring (earlier this week) and restore it to back then (it deletes anything added to the PC since thsi date - including (hopefully) the virus) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 mm, if thats the case wonder why my antivirus never picked it up? Anyway seems ok now after a quick scan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Or if you have applied a few support pacjs recently they can cause problems. Better off with mozilla firefox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
