    Hi Folks,
    I have a problem with Internet Explorer 8, after a boot it will not access the web unless I reset the the settings (Tools, options, advanced, reset).

    I also have noticed a new DOS screen that runs on boot up it says "386.exe executed sucessfully" This DOS screen has only appeared about the same time as my IE problem.

    I have tried removing and reloading IE8 but problem persists.

    Any advice, is it a virus/trojan causing the problem?

    Thanks in advance...

    Hi,

    It seems like I have the same problem. My IE 8 does the same weird things, starting up like a new installation. All the other Microsoft programs do the same (Outlook, Word, Excel, etc.). I have to fill in all the information over and over again.

    Can you help me, or the guy who helped you. My virusprogram Norman and Spyware Doctor didn't find any virus or malware.

    I would be very glad when I can work on my laptop again.

    Many thanks,

    Alfons
