A friend of mine has been using the Guest User account on my Windows XP
machine and regrettably has managed to pick up a bug. Initially when you
launch Internet Explorer 7 in the Guest account, note this is only effecting
the Guest account and no other User accounts on my PC, it would give a Dr.
Watson error message and shut IE down immediately. I ran AVG and Ad-Aware and
this seems to have stopped the Dr. Watson error.

However now I still have two problems, the first being that once you type
more than 3 characters into the address bar I get a Microsoft error now
instead of the Dr. Watson one and IE shuts down. I have reset IE to no avail.
The homepage on the guest account is Google and if I type in the Google
search box IE does not close it is only once you type 3 or more characters
into the address bar.

Also when I try and delete the Browsing history I get the following error,
"An exception occurred while trying to
"C:\Windows\system32\inetcpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByPr ocess 4351 444 179". I have
tried to Goggle this error but found nothing.

Any help greatly appreciated. Again this issue is only effecting IE 7 in the
Guest User account, and when I use IE 7 in my personal User account it works
fine.

Hi,
You've received answers to your 2 previous posts (March 17 & 18.) Did those
suggestions help?

For quite a few people it's by installing programs like 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.

If you used a newreader instead of the crappy web interface there would be
no need to rely on receiving notifications.

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about Bob but thanks for the
insult non the less.

What insult? Are you a web interface?

For Win XP = Outlook Express.
For Vista = Windows Mail.
