This one is interesting.
When browsing the Internet with IE, all HTML "form" buttons do not work. Such as, for example, if you're on Google, you can't click to search. The buttons don't respond at all. This is the same for any button that is used with HTML form tags. Normal links and, say, images with a click function, still work. But not form buttons.
Also, in start menu, the "All programs" link doesn't expand. The Start Menu shows up, with all icons and links, but click or hover on All Programs and it won't do anything.
The system was clean as it relates to spyware/adware. However, using TrendMicros offline scanner, found over 250 copies of WORM_BAGLE.AZ. It cleaned them all. It just had a reload not long ago. He uses Netzero and Norton AV 2003.
The virus may have caused it, not sure why NAV didn't find it except NAV sucks.
So far I've tried using BHO captor, CWS, HJT, ad aware, spybot. Then I've re registered a handful of DLLs, checked the user folder settings in the registry.
I mean, besides the virus, the system seems squeaky clean. And it's on XP.
By the way, if I use Firefox, the form buttons work. So something in IE is jacked. And I've reloaded IE to no avail. But that doesn't explain why All Programs doesn't open.
Any ideas? I did try a system restore, the only one usable, but it failed and couldn't use it.
Thanks
