Hi there,
A couple of days ago my IE program stopped working. The program opens and shows the top four menu lines but these do not work and I just get a blank screen that stays there. I cannot get Internet Options to come up or any addresses. Outlook Express is still working. I am running win2000. I use Avast Antivirus and Zone Alarm. These are up to date. I have checked with AdAware, Spybot S&D and A Squared (Malware). These are all up-to-date and did not pick anything up. I have run HijackThis and hope you can help. The log follows:

Hello janzim, welcome to the forum.

Do you know what this program is?
C:\Program Files\Suncycle\suncycle.exe


Please download the trial version of ewido anti-malware 3.5 here:
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
Install it, and update the definitions to the newest files. Do NOT run a scan yet.


Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.


Then please run Ewido, click on the Scanner run a full scan and let it clean everything it finds. Save the logfile from the scan.


Restart your computer in normal mode and please post a new HijackThis log, as well as the log from the Ewido scan.

Hi LDTate, thanks for getting back to me.

suncycle.exe is a program showing a calander and the state of the moon and its phase and data regarding that. I have had that running for about a year without problems.

I downloaded EWINDO.exe and followed your instructions. It picked up two cookies and three worm.Incef.b malware items. These were removed.

Hijack log and Ewindo logs follow.

I suggest you do this:

Run hijackthis. Hit None of the above, Click Do a System Scan Only. Put a Check in the box on the left side on these:

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page


Close ALL windows and browsers except HijackThis and click "Fix checked"


Delete this Folder if listed:
E:\Programs Downloaded\Xara Xtreme\version 2.0 cracks



1. Open My Computer
2. Right click on your hard drive that you wish to clean (C drive, for example)
3. In the context menu that opens, select properties
4. Under the general tab you should select Disk Cleanup
5. Windows will scan your drive which will take a few seconds/minutes
6. A box will display the various files you can remove.
Check all boxes except compress old files (If listed)
7. Click OK and windows will comply.

Restart your computer.

Reboot and "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread.
Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.


For IE, you can try these:


Repair Internet Explorer 6

A number of XP users have reported situations with Internet Explorer 6 becoming corrupted and reporting a number of different errors. While there is certainly no guarantee, the two procedures listed below have restored functionality to IE6 for many users experiencing problems.

Note: Both methods listed require that the Microsoft Windows XP CD-ROM be available.

Method 1: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x Repair for Windows XP

From the Start menu, select Run.
In the Open field, type sfc /scannow (Note: There is a space between sfc and /scannow)
Select the OK button.
Follow the prompts throughout the System File Checker process.
Reboot the computer when System File Checker completes.

Method 2: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x Repair for Windows XP

From the Start menu, select Search, select All Files and Folders.
Select More Advanced Options and place a checkmark beside Search Hidden Files and Folders option.
Ensure that Search System Folders and Search Subfolders are also checked.
In the All or Part of the File Name box, type ie.inf
In the Look In drop-down menu, select C: or the letter of the hard drive that contains the Windows folder.
Click the Search button.
In the search results pane, find the ie.inf file located in Windows\Inf folder.
Right click the ie.inf file and click Install on the context menu.
Reboot the computer when the file copy process is complete.

My computer appears to be working well at the moment. It is starting OK and I have tried a few programs and these open/close etc with no apparent problems. IE still does not work.

I have not carried out the Repair IE6 instructions because they are for winXP and I am running win2000. Can you post similar instructions for win2000?

Thanks again for getting back to me so quickly.
