Not sure of your problem. If the problem is XP and IE8 then open this from Microsoft and see if you can do this. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950249

I think you must remove SP3 then Remove IE8 and after you remove

Run Windows update make sure you have SP3 then download IE8

Do you have any error messages?

No problem...many times is virus or other bad things...if you have problem again, download Malwarebytes and scan everything...follow instructions - carefully. Good Luck

all the replys were good like i said i reinstalled the os and all software. i also installed avira,malwarebytes,a-squared free and threatfire, a-squared has already found some stuff on a clean install it dont take long i tryed Zonealarm.but i dident know how to use it so im useing windows firewall. learning all the time it ticks me off that people set arund trying to mess you up. thanks again for the replys i will keep watch and post if anything comes up THANKS !!

I would recommend removing a-squared and threatfire. Avira and malwarebytes are all you need. Often, running multiple AVs at the same time can cause them to conflict with each other.

If a-squared found infections on a clean install, that should tell you something about it's quality.

yes your right they do. but a-sguared and threatfire are on demand only. i have not had any trouble yet i dont run everything at the same time.
