Link ~ Explorer threat?

**JBH1876** · May 3rd, 2011, 09:41 AM

Hope this falls into this category. Someone I know is doing volunteer work from a very well know organization. They have created a link in which to donate. When ever I try to access this link, Explorer closes saying this could be a threat. I was told by the party that no one they know is having the same problem.. Thanks

JBH1876--What is the exact error message? I assume you mean Internet Explorer. I could access

without a problem and Web Of Trust (WOT) did not think it was a threat.
Do you have more than one PC so you can another?

Also, what antivirus and/or anti-malware software are you running?

**JBH1876** · May 3rd, 2011, 08:27 PM

Right now Im not running a antivirus. Just did a reformat. Yes Internet Explorer. I just tried it again and the mainpage starts to load then I get a Data Execution Window that "To Help Protect Your Computer, Windows has closed this program".. I do use Malware bytes often...

Now if that is IE 6 you are using, those errors are to be expected as a lot of sites do not valid for 6 and care less about that antique.

Using Explorer 8

Disable the add-ons, they have been known to cause problems.

Reset to Default Settings is another option

I changed the DEP settings in Advanced. Added Internet Explorer to be excepted for add on..... restarted, does not work either.

**JBH1876** · May 4th, 2011, 09:16 AM

I was hesitant, but I installed Google Chrome to see if it would correct the issue. Now the page opens..... CRAZY,

You might try resetting IE.

In IE, click Tools > Internet Options ... > Advanced tab > Reset ... Select "Delete personal settings", click Reset, then restart IE and try your link again.

**JBH1876** · May 4th, 2011, 06:57 PM

I did that also...... so right now I just downloaded Chrome to get one webpage.

Looks like I have a choice now
