I think there may be problem either with the site you are opening, connection speed or installation not done properly. \nTry opening any other site, if not working restart you pc & try again. Otherwise, Re-install IE 7.0

You have a browser hijacker on your PC. Use these scans to remove it.\n\nAll of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.\n\nAVG Removes I-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nSpybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nhttp://superantispyware.com/\nSUPERAntiSpyware is the most thorough scanner on the market. Our Multi-Dimensional Scanning and Process Interrogation Technology will detect spyware that other products miss! SUPERAntiSpyware will remove ALL the Spyware, NOT just the easy ones!\nEasily remove over 100,000 pests such as SmitFraud, Vundo, WinFixer, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, WinAntiVirus, AntiVermins and thousands more!\nMake sure after you download any of these, that you update them.\n\n *Be sure to come back to Yahoo Q&A and vote for one of the answers as best answer!\n\nbrowser hijacker \n \n \n\n  \n - A browser hijacker (sometimes called hijackware) is a type of malware program that alters your computer's browser settings so that you are redirected to Web sites that you had no intention of visiting. Most browser hijackers alter default home pages and search pages to those of their customers, who pay for that service because of the traffic it generates. More virulent versions often: add bookmarks for pornographic Web sites to the users' own bookmark collection; generate pornographic pop-up windows faster than the user can click them shut; and redirect users to pornographic sites when they inadvertently mistype a URL or enter a URL without the www. preface. Poorly coded browser hijackers -- which, unsurprisingly, are common -- may also slow your computer down and cause browser crashes

Do an clean up, top of web page tools internet options delete files delete cookies clear history, content clear ssl state autocomplete clear forms.\nAlso go to your C drive Windows prefetch and delete all thats there but not layout. Then switch of your modem and leave for 5 Min's, switch back on and leave for another 5 Min's. After that give it a try, if you still cant get the web page then check your security settings.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nGood Luck.

sounds to me like the firewall update just blocked your explorer ... you could have gone into the configuration of Norton and allowed your browser access .... Norton is renound for this type of behaviour\nGet rid of it and go with Zone Labs Zone Alarm and AVG Free

Not being able to browse to a particular website may be caused by a corrupt file in the browser cache.  Try clearing the cache and cookies and then accessing the page again. \n\nIf that doesn't work and you are running WinXP, Win2000 or WinNT, go to Start->Run and type in ipconfig /flushdns (there is a space after ipconfig).

you can probably reinstall your internet explorer...\nbut a way better option is to try this other browser called mozilla firefox.  Just run a search for it in the search engine.

sometimes i get the "explorer has ecountered a problem. I dont know why. Some tell me that I have to many sites opened at once, or if there is more than one computer in your house that is in use at the time may have something to do with it. Send an error report to your computer.   Good Luck

It might not be a virus as such.  Have you downloaded some Windows Security patches lately?  Or IE 7?  Is your home page set to 'Blank'?\n\nThe first link has some possible solutions (if the usual methods of anti-virus/anti spyware programs fail).\n\nLook near the bottom of the 2nd link for some background information.

I have found that when I close IE, it seems the last page is About: blank.  I think blank is like a new page in word - it is the first thing IE opens and the last thing it closes and it is part of how the system works.\n\nIt seems that it is trying to change your page, because that is what is showing when the action starts, but that is not the cause of your problem.  The software's that try to change your home page are generally adware or spyware and they run on your computer as IE is starting up - hence the code running while blank is your page when IE starts.\n\nScan your system for adware and spyware using norton (or some other program) and remove it.  If you can not, count yourself lucky that norton has blocked the code change for your home page and enjoy your day.\n\nPeace!
