search engine problems

[humvee2800]

Im not sure what i did, but neither yahoo nor google search engnes work for me... for both i can use image searches and the like but web page searches just crash the explorer window.

This is not the right section.. but I do not know what else to do and I have only a little bit to type this message and then go sleep . (im busy lately...)

what could the problem possibly be...

How does a search engine work with a computer... why would it only crash when im on this comp, if noone can help can someone point me to a help site or forum for google... I can not search for one...

What version of IE and what OS are you using? One obvious solution is to start using Firefox instead of IE...

I would check for spyware and such, and install firefox.

Spybot Search and destroy:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html

download/install and run this program - assuming you haven't already got it that is. It checks your computer for spyware and other such browser hijackers.


Also firefox:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

A free alternative to microsofts internet explorer - tends to be much more secure, has a few more features you can download any number of free extensions

I would recommend just switching to Firefox (or Opera, which is in some ways superior).

Some scripts have been known to crash IE5 when used together with certain versions of Flashplayer... Especially when using Mac/OS.
