the "BBBBBBBBBBBBB" error on IE7

paskall

Last week, suddenly my computer started to not open some websites like frihost, youtube, and facebook. Whenever I tried to enter these sites, there was this "BBBBBBBBBBBBB" text on the left above of the browser and then a blank white page.

I downloaded Firefox and Opera and tried them, but the error didnot go nowhere. I made a little search about this error on google and saw that there was one who suffered from this and he said it's because of a spyware which messes up with the browser, he suggested me to download the spyware doctor and kaspersky or another virus scanner to scan and clean my pc. I myself had Kaspersky Antivirus, first scanned and couldnot find anything, downloaded Spyware Doctor and scanned and it found some infected cookies and a virus, a spyware. Anyway since the Spyware Doctor was a trial version, it didnot clean it. So I had to remove them manually from RUN>REGEDIT. Now the browser works perfect.

So guys, if any of you, suffer from a similar problem, here is my suggestion. TESTED and WORKS PERFECT!!
Scan the pc with a virus scanner for a trojan or a worm...
And download SPYWARE DOCTOR and scan your pc, buy it or remove the infected files manually if you can. (this is for advanced users, playing with regedit may cause big problems and you may have to reformate your pc)
Cheers.

Did you recheck your computer with Spyware Doctor? Just removing some registry entries doesn't always clean all the spyware.

Well actually I made 3 or 4 scans, and each time I cleaned different infected files, tho it kept giving the same error, I reformated the pc now works ok, Tho somebody on this forum sent me a private message about the same error and how I could remove it... He says he had an internet cafe and all the pcs give the same erro some times, He resets the modem and it goes away for a while but then all sudden comes back again, he said he tried different switches and modems, he even formated 5 of his computers, but seems his LAN got a virus somehow, maybe the virus on his main computer and whenever he opens the puters it infects them, and he says he has DeepFreeze on his puters, beside the main computer.

What you think about this, any idea ?
