internet explorer not working

[rookie1010]

Hi
I am using an ADSL connection to connect to the net.

I am getting the following message when trying to use Internet Explorer

"

mozilla firefox is working fine, all internet services are fine.

Download Adaware http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/
In Ad-aware click the Gear to go to the Settings area.
The following items should be on a green check, not on a red X.
Under the Scanning button:Scan within archives
Under Memory & Registry, Check EVERYTHING
In Check Drives & Folders, make sure all of your hard drives are selected
Under the Advanced button, check ALL under Log detail level (this makes it easier for visitors to the Lavasoft Support Forums to see what options you have selected should you require assistance.)
Under the tweak button
Some of these may not be an available option, depending on your version of Ad-aware and your version of Windows. Do not be concerned if you cannot select a certain item.

In Scanning Engine:Unload recognized processes during scanning
Include info about ignored objects in logfile, if detected in scan
Include basic Ad-aware settings in logfile
Include additional Ad-aware settings in logfile
Include used command line parameters in logfile
In Cleaning Engine: XP/2000: Allow unloading explorer to unload shell extensions prior to deletion
Let Windows remove files in use at next reboot
UNCHECK: Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion
Click Proceed to save these settings. When you would like to perform a "Full Scan," switch the scan mode from SmartScan to Custom
_______________________________________________________________
Create a folder on your hard drive somewhere like in "My Documents" and name it Hijackthis
Download 'Hijack This to its own folder http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/c.bennett03/moboswindowclinic1.html
Doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, save the log, load it in Notepad, and copy its contents here.

Most of what it lists
will be harmless or even essential, don't fix anything yet.

I find firefox is a better browsing solution. Why u want to use IE at all?

hey mobo you make it out that i got some malware on my machine. it is just my IE which is not working. do i still need to go through all that procedure.

yes firefox is a better solution, however i share my pc with some one else, and the other person likes IE only.

i tried to download hijackthis but the link did not lead to hijackthis.

the log seems to contain personal information, do you want me to paste it on this forum or elsewhere?
