    Give this a try;

    Open WINDOWS EXPLORER, then click on TOOLS, and then FOLDER OPTIONS. Click on the FILE TYPES tab and then scroll down the list until you come to the N/A section in the extensions column.

    Locate the N/A URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol, click on it once to select and then click on the ADVANCE button. When the EDIT FILE TYPE window opens click on the EDIT BUTTON. Remove the check-mark from USE DDE. CLick OK, then Ok again and follow the same steps with the N/A URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocol with Privacy and the N/A URL:Gopher Protocol.

    Click CLOSE when finished and open Internet Explorer to see if this resolved your problem.

    Yes it was the Yahoo!

    Finish the removal. D/L the following install and run:

    Spyware and adware removal

    SpyBot http://security.kolla.de/index.php?lang=en&page=download
    Run this twice delete all it finds, always run this before AdAware

    AdAware http://www.lavasoftusa.com/downloads.html
    Delete all it finds

    BHO Demon http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm
    This program runs stand alone no install is required post me the items it finds


    Registry and System cleaners

    RegCleaner http://www.vtoy.fi/jv16/shtml/regcleaner.shtml
    Look in first 2 cols for programs you thought you uninstalled or removed, these are the dregs left by the uninstaller. Also tag and remove any that you are POSITIVE are not supposed to be on your computer. After removing these go to the top Tools-Registry Cleanup-Do them all. Delete all it finds.

    EasyClean1.7 http://gswi.com/downloads.htm
    Run only unnecessary files and registry clean delete all it finds

    RegScrubXP http://home.carolina.rr.com/lexunfreeware/RegScrubXPSetup_3.2.exe
    NOTE: W2K and XP only
    Select RegScrub finds problems and remove all it finds.

    These will not only fix this but generally improve performance.
