Hi;

Whenever I attempt to click on Links or access favorites on my
Vista Home Premium; my IE7 crash. I do not work on Admin accounts,
and other accounts seems to be working fine.

I have disabled all the plug-ins in my IE7, even then it crash;

Faulting application iexplore.exe, version 7.0.6001.18000, time stamp

I have search with error code, but no luck. Hoping that I would get some
help here.
Thanks in advance.

Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log
to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use (in
conjuction with some other utilities). HijackThis will NOT fix anything on
its own, but it will help you to both identify and remove any
hijackware/spyware with assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) computer repair shop.

If you're not running Vista SP1 with NIS installed, you do not have the same
problem.

That's not much proof you don't have malware.

Do a thorough check for malware, following all of the steps at one of these

For quite a few people it's by installing programs like Messenger Plus,
whose ads for malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince
you that you owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see

Hi;

I can not even import new favorites from firefox; is this also a malware??
If McAfee or Norton does not detect
malware, how the below suggested software do the same?? They have better
detection techniques?

I just checked in other accounts on my computer and IE7 works fine in other
accounts? Can a malware effect only one user on system?
Is Vista security so weak that a simple malwares can inject IE7 and change
its behaviour?

HI;

Are there any suggests other than malware!! This malware suggestion is very
generic and does not address my problem.
I have tried all the tools and no malware detected on my system.

More over other accounts and Admin account works fine, its just my account
IE has problem.

Thanks in Advance

Arun

Hi All;

Finally I was able to track down the problem. My favorites sometimes appear
and some times it does not.
When I don't see any Favorites in IE7, clicking on Links bar crashes my IE7,
and below error message was
posted to Events.

I have an external hard disk, where I connect it to my computer
occasionally. Today I saw my IE7 showing all
my Favorites and quickly looked at the properties of Favorites... its mapped
to one of the folder in my external hard disk.

I moved it back to its original location %USERPROFILE%\Favorites and my IE7
is working fine.

Surely this is not a problem by Malware/Spyware (as suggested/advertised
here), but still wonder why IE7 crash when Favorites
are located to some other drive which is not available, instead of reporting
simple pop-up showing Favorites not available.

Any suggestions/comments on this behavior?


Regards
Arun
