Internet Explorer and Yahoo Companion Toolbar

by nolabh Jan 9, 2004 3:13PM PST

For the past 2-3 days, whenever I try to open Internet Explorer I get an Error Message: COMP5_3_11_0.DLL. This had to do with Yahoo Companion Toolbar on my Internet Explorer (version 5.5). I have to un-install and re-install Yahoo Companion Toolbar before I can use IE. I am using Windows ME.
Any suggestion as to what is causing this problem?
Thanking you in advance, I am

Nola,

The EXACT error message would be helpful.

Clicking on the links below should help you get the Yahoo Companion correctly uninstalled. :

In addition, have you try running the free spyware removal tools below? They might help you find some "junk" that's causing the issue. Click on the links below, download the installer file to you desktop, install the program, update the program from within it's user interface, then run the program. Delete all spyware that it finds. BE AWARE, some "freeware" programs may cease to function if they are dependent on the spyware to operate. Still, it's better to find new freeware than to deal with the spyware:

?Spybot Search & Destroy? Spyware Removal Tool

Hope this helps.
