INTERNET EXPLORER 8 SEARCH PROVIDER CHANGED Started by kowski55 , Mar 07 2010 10:49 PM Please log in to reply 5 replies to this topic #1 kowski55 kowski55 Members 3 posts OFFLINE Local time:11:21 PM Posted 07 March 2010 - 10:49 PM Greetings. I'm new to this, but here I go. I've been getting a pop-up when I go on the internet. It says, "A program on your computer has corrupted your default search provider setting for Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer has reset this setting to your original search provider, LiveSearch(search. live.com). Internet Explorer will open Search Settings, where you can change this setting or install more search providers." This started when I started using Vuze.

Support Guy, we highly recommend that you visit our Guide for New Members. Solved: Internet Explorer - Search Provider Default Discussion in 'All Other Software' started by nampeej, Sep 18, 2009. Thread Status: Not open for further replies. Advertisement nampeej Thread Starter Joined: Sep 18, 2009 Messages: 3 Whenever we go to IE, the above error message shows up, and in the error box is: A program on your computer has corrupted your default search provider setting for Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer has reset this setting to your original search provider, Bing (www.bing.com). Internet Explorer will now open Search Settings, where you can change this setting or install more search providers. I click OK and it takes me to the "Manage Search Providers". I've tried different things - adding a different search provider, enable, disable, set as default - nothing changes, I continue to get the same error message the next time I open IE. The error message says "A program on your computer has corrupted..." What program could that be, and what can I do to correct the situation? We have Windows XP. nampeej, Sep 18, 2009 #1 Phantom010 Trusted Advisor Joined: Mar 9, 2009 Messages: 34,572 Do you have IE6 by any chance?
