IE6 not working but AOL browser does

Jonesie · #1 February 27th, 2005, 01:48 PM

When i type an url into IE6 it doesnt work. Say i type google.com, at the bottom it will bring up auto.search.msn, google.com.com, google.com.org, google.com.net, google.com.edu, auto.search.msn, and then says "internet explorer cannot open the search page". When i click ok, at the bottom it say "connecting to site 127.0.0.1" and does nothing. I read something about LAN settings but proxy server isnt ticked in internet options. Here is my Hijackthis log

Double check if you are using a Proxy
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int ernet Settings,ProxyServer = 127.0.0.1:7212

If it still doesn't work then fix that option with HJT.

Jonesie · #3 February 27th, 2005, 04:25 PM

ive clicked fix on hjt but its still doing the same and the entry is still in the registry - "proxy - 127.0.0.1: port" and im not using a proxy....

**degsy** · #4 February 27th, 2005, 04:30 PM

Try with the latest version of HJT
http://www.degs.co.uk/files/hijackthis.exe

Remember that you have to check the box next to that item.

Jonesie · #5 February 27th, 2005, 04:39 PM

Ok ive downloaded the latest version and its still doing the same. I checked the box and clicked fix and it disappeared and tha following scan gave me this -

According to the new log the entry has been removed.

Try this fix
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFIX.htm

Jonesie · #7 February 27th, 2005, 05:23 PM

done all that no joy. it took ages checkin that all the original files were ok but didnt fix it. what else could it be?

**degsy** · #8 February 27th, 2005, 05:31 PM

Are you still getting the 127.0.0.1 error?

Jonesie · #9 February 27th, 2005, 05:34 PM

yep still getting it...

**degsy** · #10 February 27th, 2005, 05:52 PM

Not sure why that proxy would still stay.
Do you have any programs that block the chaning of reg entries, such as Spybot?

Anyways, could you please run ann adaware scan then post a new HJT log in the Cyber Safety forum.

Just to see if there are other nasties that are interfering.
