I have developed a strange i.e. problem. I can open internet explorer and go to my home page one time no matter what I set it to or from windows explorer I can go to any page one time. If I click on any other link or favorite from those pages, i.e. closes out to the desktop. Even closes out to desktop if I select Help, About, in Internet Explorer. Many spywares were recently removed via Spysweeper and Spybot. Still scanning with AdAware at the time of this note which was written from another pc. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. WinXP Home SP2 I.E. 6 Dell 4300

Johnw, After all of the cleaning I did just that and the log is now showing clean. Still have the same problem, one page and that's it. If I click on a link or another page, i.e. closes out to the desktop with no error or anything.

Sounds like a bug is still there, L.B. Make sure with after you download Updates from SpyBot, you click > Immunize on the left hand side of the page & then Immunize up the top of the page.
