Hi all;
Since yesterday afternoon whenever I click one of my browsers (IE, SeaMonkey or Firefox) from the desktop or quicklaunch bar I get a weird screen instead of the browser opening window. The only browser that will work unaffected is Netscape, but I'm not a big fan of it, so let's not go there. I've copied the screen below as well as what happens when I click the "here" on the screen in IE. The messages are almost identical in SeaMonkey and FireFox. I've run my a/v software, Avast, as well as Housecall. I've also run Ad-Aware and Spoybot S & D. Avast, Ad-Aware and Spybot S & D didn't find anything. But Housecall found a few things and I've followed the recommended dourse of action on all the items found. I've also repaired IE. Anyn ideas?

That's what I did and it worked.
Is there any way to modify my original post?? The links I included were "hot links" and should have pointed to another place instead of where they point.

nope, whatever you post what it is, no changes allowed. You can ask the moderator to remove the post if you like. Glad the system restore worked for you.
