OK where do I start?
First of all search in the address bar doesn't work any more. When I type in "graph" I am told page cannot be found and
http:///?%20graph appears in the address bar.
I then go to Bitdefender website to do an online scan and get the message from Bitdefender
"This web site is not authorized to host this activeX control"
I then go to Trend Micro for an online scan. Everything works fine getting to their homepage. Works fine getting to the online scan page. Works fine in the "accept terms of use page". Click on the "Launching House Call", get to the intro. page and thats where it stops. The intro. page doesn't fit in IE's browser area (page too large), and downloading freezes.
Everything works in Trend Micro including the online scan (which my PC passed with flying colors) if I use Firefox. I'm sure folks would say "then just use Firefox" but I find that browser to be a resource hog (version 1.5.0.2).
Plus I hate it when something doesn't work right whether I like using it or not.
My favorite browser is Maxthon, but unfortunately it uses the IE engine.
I've read about problems with IE due to Windows update KB908531, but when IE has it's problems "verclsid.exe" is not running according to Task Manager.
My system is totally free of any malware, viruses, etc.
Anybody got any ideas as to what could be the problem? Got me baffeled!
Could it be another security update causing havoc?
