    What about plugins? Have you installed any recently that may have been around the time this started?

    I googled this error and found quite a lot of people using XP SP2 were getting this error but couldn't really find a definitive fix for it. Could be something to do with the new security enhancements :hhhmmm that M$ have developed!

    I would run every malware scanning app that you can get your hands on, SpyBot S&D, Adaware, Spyware Sweeper and you might want to run Highjackthis and post your findings on one of the forums that specialise in trying to keep up with the miriad of new variants hitting the net etc etc.

    In my experience it is the browser hijackers that load IE plugins such as search bars that cause these type of problems.

    Malware has already reached the point that in some circumstances, the only way you can be sure that you are not infected anymore is to do a complete re-install.

    Keep us informed as to your progress please,

    Pete

    There is a repair option for IE if you go to Control Panel> Add/Remove Programs>Windows Components (if I recall correctly)


    If you run through that, you will be able to run the installation again, butI think you'll need your Windows CD handy.

    HTH :D

    Thanx M8,

    I found this does it make sence

    CAUSE

    This problem occurs because one of the following browser helper objects (BHO) is installed on your computer: •BuyersPort•Morpheus•Morpheus Shopping Club•WURLD Shopping CommunityAdditionally, you logged on to the computer with a limited user account. The BHO tries to modify certain system files and Windows Registry entries that require administrative credentials to access. As a result, when the BHO cannot access these files and registry entries, Internet Explorer stops abruptly.
    RESOLUTION

    To resolve this problem, remove the BHO from your computer. For information about how to remove the BHO, contact the manufacturer of the program.

    For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    IMHO

    = Spy/Malware

    Get rid of it either Adaware here or Spybot search and destroy here

    Either or both of these should get rid of the little nasties

    Download both and use both. Apparently someplace you visited on the web didn't like you very much.

    Even Microsoft are now recommending Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware to de-infest thier browser :ohmy

    The following is from http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=831432

    Use an automated removal tool

    Some non-Microsoft tools exist that may be able to remove the deceptive software program. Some of the companies that provide spyware or unauthorized adware removal programs include the following companies:

    •Ad-Aware

    For more information about Ad-Aware, visit the following Lavasoft Web site: http://www.lavasoft.de/ms/index.htm

    •Pest Patrol

    For more information, visit the following Pest Patrol Web site: http://www.pestpatrol.com/

    •Spybot Search and Destroy

    For more information, visit the following Spybot Web site: http://www.safer-networking.org/microsoft.en.html

    Pete

    PS Pest Patrol looks good but is not a freeby :cry:

    Firefox is good for sure as long as you are not suffering from it's memory leak problem :cry: but you will still need the functionality of IE for sites which use active x controls such as Windows Update for example!

    Hi Peter, I have also gotten the following error on my Internet Explorer (Win XP O/S) some days back. The error signature is exactly the same as what you have gotten. Manage to get it back up and running again. Maybe you can also explore on the steps which I have taken

    1) download and install "WindowsXP-KB888113-x86-ENU"
    2) IE will now say that an add-on was running when the problem occurred. The add-on listed on my PC is "sfg_54dd.dll" from "(Not verified) SafeGuard Corporation"
    3) Click on the Advanced button in the message box, select the "SafeGuard Protect PCS..." and select the Disable option
    4) Close everything and IE will start properly the next time

    Alternatively
    1) Right click on the IE icon on your desktop, select Programs and click on Manage Add-ons...
    2) Look for the add-on "SafeGuard Protect PCS..." and disable it.
    This can also resolve the problem

    Following is the error message which IE has displayed after I install the Win XP patch. It looks more informative now. Hope you can also get your IE working soon

    AppName: iexplore.exe AppVer: 6.0.2900.2180 ModName: sfg_54dd.dll
    ModVer: 2.0.0.0 Offset: 00016fa0

    Do either of you guys happen to be running the SafeGuard program from Ultimaco?

    I was just wondering if you have had any other problems? I've had 6 laptops go down on me in the past few months due to 'faulty hard disks'. All the laptops were running SafeGuard and the hdd's were making a hell of a racket before they died and couldn't be found, which was why I thought bad hdd's so I replaced them all. I recently reformatted the 'bad' hdd's only to find they run ok now, just like they should:x.

    I now realise that SafeGuard had somehow corrupted the mbr, which is why I'm asking.:oops:
