I have a new Gateway desktop with Windows Vista and EI7 installed. IE7 was
always a bit slow so I did a dsl speed test and when compared to a dsl speed
test on Firefox, Firefox was about 3 times faster. When I click to open
Internet Explorer it takes about 20 seconds!! before the window even opens
up. I don't have any add-ons. If I run IE7 as administrator it opens up real
quick and fast like it should but then it doesn't work properly, some buttons
on other websites don't work (example...in yahoo mail, the delete button
wouldn't work, but it worked fine with Firefox). Also, when I click on a
button in Windows that will open a website, an error message will pop up
saying "there is a problem with Internet Explorer and it needs to close". It
searches for a solution to the problem but of course it doesn't find
anything. Anyone else have these same problems or any info to make it work
properly? In the mean time I'm sticking with Firefox. Thanks

I have a few of these same issues that don't exist with firefox. I also don't
have the hours and hours of troubleshooting required that seem to have been
invested by other posters, based on the "helpful" responses of the microsoft
support staff. I just need IE 7 Fixed.

What if you right click the IE icon on the desktop and choose Start Without
Add-ons?
Or go to Start | All Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet
Explorer (No Add-ons).

If I right-click on IE7 there is no option to start without add-ons. I have
not installed any add-ons, maybe thats why.

When I go to Start | All Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet
Explorer (No Add-ons) it won't open explorer. It just gives an error message
that says "Internet Explorer has stopped working....A problem caused the
program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify
you if a solution is available". No solution is found. This happens when I
click other links within Windows Vista that are supposed to open Internet
Explorer.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing Messenger Plus, whose ads for
malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince you that you
owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see
what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure
of.
