Can't see videos on most WWW sites.

My replies to the following:

So the solution was to reset IE 11 twice? The issue wasn't resolved after the first reset?
That's odd, but an interesting thing to note - If a member is having IE issues and a reset doesn't cure it, I might ask them to do it twice.

Did you restart IE after the 1st reset?
After the 2nd reset?
Was the machine restarted after either IE reset?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So sorry to mislead you. I reset IE 11. Somewhere along the line, I was asked to accept default values, which, out of laziness, I did. When that process was finished, I closed all open windows and rebooted. As soon as I got into IE 11, I started getting bombarded with popup ads, so many at a time that they literally covered the screen I wanted to see, and each other.

So, I reset IE 11 a second time. This time, when asked to accept default values, I chose the only other option. When that process finished, I rebooted and restarted IE 11. This time, no ads, period.

However, I was still stuck with the problem of IE not advancing past the first screen after I would look up something. So I Googled a description of my problem and ran across a website where that was discussed. They talked about "browsersafeguard.exe" and explained how to get rid of it. I followed their instructions, and now, no more problem of IE not advancing past a screen. Something called "rockettab" was involved, too, and I remember getting rid of that, too.

HTH,

I attached the 2 log files in a subsequent email. Hope I can delete this mess.

Here are the 2 log files after scanning and cleaning with Adwcleaner.

HTH somebody! It's mostly Greek to me.

I ran Malwarebytes (free) and I tried to attach the two log files, but got a msg saying the 2 .XML files were invalid. Any ideas on how to get around that? Apparently there weren't a lot of errors to correct - 30 or less, I think.

Also, since running Adwcleaner, my PC is running noticeably faster. Ixquick, the browser, is truly living up to its name, although I more often use Google and it's faster, too.

I just ran SuperAntiSpyware (free edition), and it found 10 dangerous items and 128 adware cookies. The dangerous ones were in the registry with the name Hijacker.Tubby, and I had SAS remove them. SAS also said that the adware cookies were not dangerous, but they might keep track of sites I visit, so I left them alone.

Thanks,
