I.E. cannot open Internet site...Operation aborted

Please, I need help to find out why this ,essage, { Internet Explorer cannot open Internet site...Operation aborted... Click OK }. This message keeps coming up on my computer with Windows Xp & cable I-net and 2 weeks ago, my mom's 2 month old PC started getting this same message on her PC using Windows 7 with DSL. After this message, I have to click on OK button & then I have to start over.

Please post as much info as possible on this subject !

Thanks in advance for all replies !

 

Try IE Reset from here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737
Also run CCleaner: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download

 

kimsland,

Thank you so much for your help. I'm not having the box reading, { Internet Explorer cannot open Internet site...Operation aborted... Click OK }, anymore. I didn't download the CCleaner, due to a few problems I started having 3 weeks ago when we were switched from Dial Up to Cable I-net. The cable installer ran CCleaner and nothing happened & I started having a severe issue with something called Security Tool that "glued" itself onto my computer. It completely cover3ed "My Desktop" and added itself to "All Programs" under the Start menu. It kept saying that my PC had a virus & I couldn't even get to My Desktop or get onto the internet.
I had to end up doing a complete System Recovery to get rid of this Security Tool & haven't had any problems except for the above problem I posted about.

Thanks again for the help !

 

Cat Lover,

If only you'd visited Malware and Virus removal before the Restore It may have saved you from lost data.

Could I ask you though to change the colour of your font when posting, these tired old eyes actually hurt when reading your posts.

Moderator note - font/colour edited to Default

 

Hi Cat Lover thanks for getting back to me and the forum.

There was some extra text in my original reply to you about the Font that you are using. But it seems a Mod or staff member has removed it. I can't remember how I worded it, but it may have not sounded correct.

I am (personally) having trouble with the Font you have chosen, it is difficult for me to read. Can you please remove the Font by editing your above post and remove the Font code boxes?

Since you have spoken about Malware issue, I am wondering if it is now fully resolved on both computers?
If so: Thanks for the update
