Internet Explorer Cannot load webpages – JRE 6u2 problem

This problem started after installing JavaStandardEdition 1 6 Development kit, with NetBeans.

IE started to crash or took too long to load webpages.

Sometimes it opens a blank page.

The problem was not in Internet Explorer but in java plugin code memory corruption.

The solution is uninstalling JRE 6u2 and downloading and installing another copy from the java.sun.com site.

IE7 Java Crash Problem: Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close

I received this message: Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. every time when visited a site with Java applets.

And buttons with “Send/Don’t Send error.”

In this case uninstalling Java Runtime does not help.

Uninstalling and then re-installing IE7 does not help too.

Even System Restore does not help.

The only method to resolve problem is looking in Objects folder:

Menu  Tools –> Internet Options –> Settings –> View Objects

If there is a  Oracle Jinitiator object, you have to remove it /Add/Remove programs./

Jinitiator is a Java Virtual Machine made by Oracle Corporation. It uses  plugin or an activex control.

Another method is to uninstall  Windows Live Assistant.

AntiSpyCheck – yet another trojan

 

 Do you have noticed how many trojans with ‘Anti-’ names appeared nowdays? It seems to be the last trends among virus/trojans creators. They have masked their malware code as antivirus software with colorful GUI telling you have 345247827469726482246 trojans and viruses and have to hurry to their page and buy antivirus software which is the only one to clean your computer.    
 
Anti Spy Check Description:
Anti Spy Check, or AntiSpyCheck 2.4, is a fake antispyware and antivirus program that claims to be a spyware remover, popup blocker and trojans cleaner.

AntiSpyCheck program may install without your knowledge through a Trojan Zlob.

Trojan.Zlob is a back door Trojan. It allows the hacker to perform various malicious actions on the remote computer.

Trojan.Zlob usually is masked as a needed video codec in the form of ActiveX.

Here is a typical example of it:

Anti-SpyCheck usually pops up fake security alerts trying to make you buy their software.

5. In the Run  box  type “cmd“, and then click on “OK”  button

6. Type regsvr32 /u spamdet.dll and hit Enter. This will unregister the trojan .dll library.

7. Find and Delete spamdet.dll

8. Open registry editor /Start — Run — Regedt32/ then find and delete /if any/ the following registry keys:

After restarting the computer there will be no more annoying pop ups and slowdowns.

And one advice: there is no free lunch as you know, so when watching porn and it says wou have to download something to watch more – think first before click Yes, or better – Quickly RUN of the site without thinking!

How to close ports

When my computer becomes slow, I use to check connections established. In command prompt /Start button — Run —type  CMD — Enter/ I type command ‘netstat -a‘ and press enter.

It gives all the connections in my computer. Especcialy attention I pay to those marked as ESTABLISHED. Some of them are with my Skype friends or Internet sites I have connected.

 But if I close all the programs running /like Skype, IE, games, torrents, etc/ there are still some established connections with unknown sites in Germany, Russia, all over the world. Near them is written the port. It is known that malicious software uses higher ports number /bigger than 10000/ and ‘good’ programs use small numbered ports.

One way to close a port is to terminate the process /program/ that has opened it.  But if you don’t know the program or someone is using trojans to connect with you, the other way is to use a program to close those ports.

There are many programs for scanning and closing ports. I found this http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/cports.html an use it from time to time. It is free. I don’t know the autors but think it is a good program for non proffessionalists like me. If you have better programs in mind, please share their URL.

Internet explorer cannot open the web page. Operation Aborted

I am writing again about the most popular error message “Internet explorer cannot open the web page. Operation Aborted” because yesterday had a new case.

I solved my problem with error message by disabling Skype add-ons /IE Tools meny – Manage Addons – Disable./ You can see screenshots with steps in my older posts.

And I as a happy IE user for long time until yesterday when it came again!

I was opened a web page with lots of flash, videos and other media. Did not knew what exactly caused the problem.

So, went the old way: Tools – Manage Add-ons and disabled all the rest addons.

Then opened same page again /may open any page with videos, java, flash./

A traytip message told me I do not have addon needed to show the shockwave flash media. It suggested me to enable and I agreed.

Same way I enabled Java plugins, flash, Microsoft media player one by one.

One can browse the Internet without add-ons until opens a page which needs some addon to show the media content.

This way, by disabling and re-enabling addons I solved my problem for second time.

Do not afraid to disable add-ons, especialy rare and unknown which you don’t know what are doing.

There are only 4-5 main and often used add-ons: shockwave, mediaplayer, java, flash /NOT SKYPE  /

The less addons active, the lighter IE is and the risk of crashing is smaller!

Google Presents the Virtual World ‘Lively’

Google  yesterday launched a new virtual world called ‘Lively’ .

Using the Lively environment requires Windows ,  Internet Explorer or Firefox, and the Lively browser plug-in which is downloaded at first visit the site.

IE message ‘Done, but with errors on page’

You may see the ‘Done, but with errors on page’ message often while browsing web pages.

It is in bottom left corner of the statusbar and has an Yellow exlamation sign.

Do not be afraid to view the site.

Actually, the message ‘Done, but with errors on page’ means that there is some javascript errors on this page. This is because of webdesigners’ errors, not your browser error.

May be some animations or some funcionallities will not work proper but site is still visible.

This is not yours problem so do not panic.

The message ‘done, but with errors on page’ will not harm your computer in no means.

The webmasters have to check their sites often and if such a message appears, it is better for them to repair javascript code.

Dangerous Trojan horses detected in your system – malware message

I think everyone has received such messages. They insist to download and install a trojan cleaning software. Instead of this, they will install other trojans, spyware and other malware on your computer.

So, NEVER click no OK neither Cancel buttons. Better fire this window from Task Manager /ALT+CTRL+DEL./

The fact you received that message is a sign you already have some kind of malicious software.

To clean it in early stage download MalwareBytes program /it is FREE/, update and make full scan.

Hope this will fix your problem.
