No Matter What I Do, Internet Explorer Goes to the Wrong Place!
Browser redirects, where MS Internet Explorer goes to unexpected locations, is a common sign of corruption in Internet Explorer caused by malware. The attacking program can make changes to the settings in IE so that no matter what you try to do, it always goes back to the sites that are controlled by the bad guys. But unexpected behavior isn’t always caused by malware—it’s also possible that your antivirus software or firewall is not configured correctly, causing your access to specific sites to be blocked when it shouldn’t be.
Sometimes, the malware is not so obvious. This type of infection is called “spyware,” because its primary purpose is to remain hidden so it can collect sensitive personal information, such as your account names and passwords, credit card numbers and bank account information.
So maybe you’ve gotten so frustrated that you’ve decided the only solution is to reinstall Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, if your computer is infected, it will not be enough to simply reinstall Internet Explorer, because the infection will hide out in another place on your computer, and will quickly reinfect as soon as you try to browse the Internet again. Support.com has the experts available 24/7 who know when a problem can be fixed with a reinstall and how to reinstall Internet Explorer. We can help you figure out what’s wrong with your computer.
Even when your system is clean, Support.com can help you when you’ve decided it’s time to update your computer to all the latest and greatest software that’s available. Or perhaps you’ve recently upgraded from Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, or Internet Explorer 7, and things aren’t working the way you’re used to, so you’ve decided you’d rather uninstall Internet Explorer 8 and reinstall Internet Explorer 6. Or you need some help to reinstall Internet Explorer on Windows 98. Or you know your computer is a little outdated and you’re wondering if it can run the newer version of Microsoft Internet Explorer on Windows 2000. These are the kinds of questions that our experts at Support.com answer every day for people just like you.
As with everything else in this high-tech world, newer technologies allow software developers to introduce new features to their software. Sometimes, those newer features won’t work on older operating systems, or they require newer hardware and faster processors to be able to function at their best. Not only that, but many of the viruses and other malicious software from the past are designed specifically to take advantage of security flaws that had been identified in the older operating systems and older versions of Internet Explorer. So along with the many new features and faster technologies, the newer versions of the Windows Operating System and Internet Explorer have also plugged the security gaps and added tighter controls to help prevent the attackers from gaining access to your computer.
If you’re ready to upgrade to the newest operating system so you can take advantage of the new features included in programs like Internet Explorer 8 that are designed for today’s’ leading edge computers, Support.com’s experts can help you analyze your computer’s hardware, operating system and software configurations so you’ll know if you need to upgrade or whether you can get everything running properly by uninstalling and reinstalling Internet Explorer and making a few changes to the settings in the software or operating system.
