Solve : Internet Won't Close? |
|
Answer» I GET on the internet and I can't close it after that. I had no virus detection for a while, but I did purchase some. I ran it and deleted the little that it found. I still cannot close the internet once I open it. Has this ever happened to anyone before - does anybody have any suggestions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. the little that it found You're making it sound as if it is reasonable to have a 'few' viruses on your PC.. It is not, viruses can cause damage to your files. What virus scanner were you using? I suggest you install a program such as Adaware SE or Spybot S&D and have them remove any spyware that may be present. Note that Spyware is not the same as a virus and a trojan.THANKS for the response, I have done all of this. I have Adware as well as Norton- both are run periodically and nothing really turns up. I still have trouble with the internet. Thanks GabeDoes this affect your browser only or any Internet related software? If it is only your browser, uninstall and reinstall your browser.It is just the browser, please forgive the ignorance, but how do I uninstall and install the browser, I understand how to uninstall programs, is it the same idea. What do I need to reinstall it? Thanks again, You have been very helpful. GabeFor Windows XP you go to Add/Remove Software and Internet Explorer should be present in the list. I am not certain if it goes this way on previous Windows operating systems.For XP it is in the windows components of the add and remove programmes. For 9x it will be in the add remove programmes main menu when you open it. When you delete it, it should give you the option to repair.I am operating with Windows ME - which may the main problem....but someone suggested going through Windows UPDATES and see if that helps. It did not. I went and uninstalled IE and reinstalled the NEWEST version from microsoft, still no improvement. You can try an alternate browser. Mozilla Firefox is a very good (FREE) browser which a lot of people prefer over Internet Explorer.Thanks for the suggestion, I have downloaded Mozilla and it closes properly so it must be a problem with Internet Explorer. Now the problem I have now is that Internet Explorer won't uninstall - there is actually no option to uninstall - in add remove programs I can only repair and a couple of other but no uninstall. And now all of a sudden a connection box comes up in which is trying to dial up to get a connection with Microsoft Internet Explorer - I don't even have dial up service - I have cable......any ideas. Thanks Gabe 1. Make sure Mozilla is selected as your default browser 2. Control panel/Internet options/Connections and select "Never dial a connection" 3. In the same dialog box, click LAN settings and select "Automatically detect settings" 4. Click OK, Apply, or whatever (but not Cancel) to back out gracefully.if anyone has a problem with enternet explorer not closing go to internet options then advanced then uncheck 3rd party browser extentions Quote from: Gabe Manchon on September 17, 2004, 05:28:41 PM I get on the internet and I can't close it after that.
