IE Problems

[IE_DrivesMeInsane]

Well, I have been having this problem for quite some time (around 3 months) and I have been hoping that Windows would fix it by now, Anyway..

When I go to yahoo.com and try to search for something I click on the search button and a page is shown with the following message "Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand."

Other errors include, when I first bring up yahoo.com I get that error box (I set it to come up today) And when I go to click details nothing comes up. So I click okay and it refuses to close. The only thing that does seem to work is the X.

This also seems to happen on the hotmail.com site when I try to read my mail or anything.. I hope someone can help me..

Start with clearing out all your cookies and internet cache. 400 errors are sometimes caused by things in there. If that alone doesn't fix it I would start scanning for malware and go from there.

I deleted all cookies and scanned for Malware and still nothing I am still having the same problems.

Try this; Goto Start select control panel then select internet options.
Select tab security then select default next select advanced tab select restore defaults, click OK.

See if that works.

Go to our Security forum and read the sticky thread concerning HijackThis logs. Do what's suggested, and if you still have issues, post a log.

Alright, its still not working. I can't click on the error window (other than the X) when it pops up, yahoo still refuses to take my request, and Windows Update is not loading at all.

Anyway, here is what Hijack This said I was running:

You don't have any bad processes running, but you have remnants of malware in your startups.

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [IEengine] C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEeng.exe

This is a start page hijacker.

I would remove that with HJT, also remove the following:

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [NetGuard Lite] "C:\WINDOWS\NetGuard Lite.exe" -STARTUP
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [ZeroSpyware Lite] "C:\WINDOWS\ZeroSpyware Lite.exe" -STARTUP
O4 - Global Startup: FlashPath Monitor.lnk.disabled
O4 - Global Startup: FuzzyLogic4.lnk.disabled
O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk.disabled
O4 - Global Startup: PC Alert III.lnk.disabled
O4 - Global Startup: TabUserW.exe.lnk.disabled

Your next step would probably be to reset IE to defaults. Internet options, programs, reset web settings. If that doesn't fix it, look at an IE repair or forced reinstall.
