Error Message when trying to use google

[drew1000]

I have recently started to get the error message (shown in attached snip) I have tried using registry cleaners, installing latest updates but I still get message. I have scanned for malware and virus's with no success. Appreciate any help on this. Once I accept the message and click ok google seems to work ok.

have you tried to add new search providers, make a new one your default then delete the Live entry.

Made another site my home page and when I open it I get exactly the same error message ??

You could reinstall ie8 see if that fixes the problem, you still should be able to keep your bookmarks and things if you just run an install over ie, never came accross that myself.

Tried the suggested reset and thesame error message appeared even when I was trying to do the reset. Back to the drawing board !!

Tried the link in Bill2 post. Followed the sectionon Users/Permissions etc and the issue appears to have gone away. Many thanks to all who contributed.
