Can not connect to some links in web pages.  I try to connect to my Yahoo BROWER, and the SCREEN freezes, and I get an error "missing gifview.dll file..........."  Can not EVEN view any PDf files.  Can any one help?  Started out in the wrong Forum, maybe this is the right one?Did this previously work? What has changed since then? Are you using ADWARE/spyware/virus protection? If so, what is it?EVERYTHING was working fine until recently.  I'm using Norton Anti-viruis (even upgraded to 2006 version thinking that maybe be the problem).

I was having probems with pop-ups, so I have recently installed Registry Mechanic, Registry Pro, and Lavasoft Adware SE Personal (I'm still having problems with pop-ups, though not as bad as the beginning).  I believe that one of programs (I'm only guessing) was the one that removed the "gifview.dll" file as my problems started after the installation of these programs (Registry Mechanic & Registry Pro).Check to see if one of those programs has put the file in quarantine rather than delete. If so, it can be restored. Otherwise, you will likely have to reinstall the programs that don't work properly.or look here:
