Hi,
Sorry, not sure how to fix that. You can register here: www.castlecops.com and post in their General computer problem forum.I got a window titled "locate link in browser". I repeated this 3 times and on the 3rd try it did connect. This often happens when i startup or reboot...the program seems to go unresponsive for a while then finally does connect.

Close your browsers and all open windows except for HijackThis, then click "Fix checked". Exit HijackThis.

Click start > run > copy and paste:
combofix /u
That will uninstall combofix, delete its folders, reset your clock, reset your system restore cache, create a new restore point, hide system files and hide file extensions.
*You may also re-enable teatimer now.
