Problem swith IE

[poppyh]

Hi, I recently had a problem with trojans on my PC.
I downloaded and ran the recommended programmes and all appears fine except that at startup I am getting a message "Action Cancelled, IE cannot connect to the Web page you requested...".
IE is not in my startup ( it is no longer my default browser ). I have loaded my Hijackthis log below. Do I still have a problem and what do I do next?

Thanks

Hi Lonny,

I found and removed the IE connection at startup and all appears OK.
Does my Hijack this look OK now, I do not want to reconnected the PC to the web if there is anything else which may cause problems.

Thank you for your assistance, this is a great site.

Yes there should be no problems on the internet .

Let us know if there are any problems or not after a few days please.
