IE 9 will not open
« on: February 28, 2013, 07:46:45 am »
Trying to fix my buddies computer - had some nasty stuff on here.  He stated that IE will not connect and that his virus (Norton 360) was telling him that he was infected.  I removed his Norton and McAfee and installed MSE.  I used malwarebytes and cleaned up what I found (trogans and a root kit).  I ran ccCleaner and tried your program (Windows Repair).  I ran Windows Repair twice to with the default settings.  I even tried ComboFix.

I can get on the internet w/ Chrome, but IE will not open.  I tried the icon and command line to get that open.  Funny thing, as I was registering on your site, it prompted me to upgrade quicktime and that is the only way to get IE open and surfing the web.  I even saved this site on my desktop and it will not launch IE.  I know IE works, but I cannot get it to launch.  I even tried the Microsoft "FixIT" and it still fails to open.

Any ideas?

Open the task manager and see if any iexplorer.exe are running, if they are kill them.

Then go tot he program files folder and internet explorer and run it from there instead of the short cut. Does it show up in the task manager?

Also lets see if something put a regkey in to block iexplorer from running :-)

In the registry see if you have this

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplorer.exe

and do you have anything under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\safer\codeidentifiers\
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy Objects\

Let me know what  you find, feel free to export those keys and post them so I can look at them :-) (If you post them make sure to put them in a zip file)

Task Manager / Processes tab, no iexplorer.exe was running.

Start / All Programs / Internet Explorer - same issue

Start / All Programs / Internet Explorer 64-bit - Page opened right up and 2 entries in the Processes tab

64 bit will open 32 bit wont, I wonder if it is one of the add ons in IE9 for 32 bit?

Lets find out :-)

Go tot he control panel and then to internet options. There you can manage add ons. Disable them all and give IE another try :wink:

Try opening IE 9 32 bit, do it a few times, then go to the event viewer and check application and the system event viewer and see if anything is there about it. If I had an error code to go with it owuld help :-)
