Error when clicking mail links in internet Explorer.

[Epidemic]

Ok you gots some splaining to do lucy.

I click on an email link on just about any web page which calls my outlook express. And poooooof in the blink of an eye 64 sessions of IE launch and eventually crash my session.

WTF could make this happen.


Please help.

You have several possible problems: trojan, malware, adware, spyware, or good old virus.

First up, make sure Outlook Express is set as the default email client via Tools/Options/Programs.

If it is an ActiveX malware program, check out the downloaded program files directory under the Windows directory for any suspicious entries. Otherwise, time to update you AV software and scan your system.

If your AV software turns up nothing, then check out this online scanner: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

Norton anti virus did not find anything when this first started happening.

I like the default mail client (tools options programs) within outlook express? I will check that out tonight.
