My problem first started when outlook express wouldn't open the inbox. All other folders worked yet oe would hang until i ended task on it. Backed up my inbox.dbx and deleted it, allowing oe to rebuild the inbox. Importing the backed up inbox.dbx wouldn't work, notifying me there were no messages. (yet a trial of MailNavigator immediately opened the 'corrupt' dbx file.) All seems well until IE starts having errors. I can access just about any page except for online email, primarily hotmail and yahoo. As soon as i enter my username/pass and submit it expecting to load my inbox, i get the notice that an error has occurred and internet explorer will have to restart..also asking if i'd like to send the error report to microsoft. Thinking maybe it was limited to IE, i used mozilla firebird. There's no error reporting tool, it just acts as if i hadn't clicked the submit button at all and never loads beyond the login pages. This happens only on the mail, i can successfully log into yahoo groups. Watching closely at the status bar i've noticed something odd. When trying to access yahoo mail, it says it's connecting to the yahoo servers, the page begins to load..and for a short period the status message switches saying "downloading from and then quickly reverts to the yahoo servers. Google is set to be my homepage, but it shouldn't require any info from google to load yahoo mail. I'm not entirely positive i haven't been somehow hijacked.
After updating all my definition files to the latest possible, i've done the following: scanned the entire pc with spybot s&d, adaware6 (build 181), run sfc, scanned the entire drive twice with avg6, trend micro's housecall, have tried repairing IE via the control panel add/remove programs panel. Nothing works, and all my results come back clean every time. I couldn't copy the entire error message, but this is the basic message:
Error Signature, AppName: iexplore.exe,
AppVer: 5.51.4807.2300, ModName: mshtml.dll,
