Hello

After having some problems with malware, which i resolved with help from a best techie malware removal staff member, i am left with a strange error message when i start up Internet Explorer. Specifically:

"Cannot find '::{2559A1F4-21D7-11D4-BDAF-00C04F60B9F0}'. Make sure the path or internet address is correct."

After i click "Ok" Internet Explorer starts up as normal and seems to work fine.

Not a particuarly bad problem, nonetheless one i would like to fix if possible.

We found that in his case it was a bad shortcut , but the initial cause is a malware infection so you need to post a hijackthis log on the malware board and get cleaned up.

Hi Pete,

Thanks for your reply... i did have a malware recently but i think i removed it with combofix and another spyware removal program. I posted a topic in the hijacksthis forum. I thought id post my hijacksthis log here too for you to take a look, if you have time.
