Please help me to solve my problem.
I cannot open the internet explorer link in my desktop.
The only way I can access internet is through typing the website address in the address bar of Windows Explorer Window.

I have tried already to scan it with AVG, Ad-aware 2007 and other antivirus softwares but in the scanning process, there is a certain folder where the scanning stops and hanged.

I have tried to analyse it through HiJackthis software and the following analysis appeared:

Please help me what to do.....

Hello, nuhjski, you cannot do what you are doing and expect your sys to run properly - you can only have ONE active AV service running. Out of the three, Mcaffee, AVG and Symantec keep only one... Mcaffee, I guess, cos you are paying for it.
Symantec does not look complete but nevertheless is active; to remove it properly you need the removal tool from their website. Merely uninstall AVG AV.
Did you intentionally remove windows Messenger? msmsgs.exe is missing.... but a couple of related items remain:
Use hijackthis to fix these 3 entries:

O9 - Extra button: Messenger - {FB5F1910-F110-11d2-BB9E-00C04F795683} - C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe (file missing)
O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Windows Messenger - {FB5F1910-F110-11d2-BB9E-00C04F795683} - C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe (file missing)
and...
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)

Cool. Now I know you say you use Windows Explorer to go on the web, but I can see 4 instances of IE open. So it looks like IE starts when you click the desktop link but does not open a window that you can see. Fine.
Navigate to C:\WINDOWS\inf\ie.inf [you must have hidden files and folders visible] or alternatively open explorer in C:\Windows and do a Search for ie.inf.
Right click the ie.inf file, and then click Install.
-Insert your Windows XP SP2 CD-ROM when prompted and on it locate the I386 folder, click Open, and then click OK.
Internet Explorer will be installed.

Go to Start > Run and then cutnpaste and Enter the following 2 lines, one then the other [you need to press OK after each DLL file is re-registered].
---- LINE 1
regsvr32 urlmon.dll mshtml.dll shdocvw.dll browseui.dll jscript.dll vbscript.dll scrrun.dll msxml.dll actxprxy.dll softpub.dll wintrust.dll dssenh.dll

---- LINE 2
regsvr32 rsaenh.dll gpkcsp.dll sccbase.dll slbcsp.dll cryptdlg.dll oleaut32.dll ole32.dll shell32.dll msjava.dll hlink.dll Schannel.dll Rsabase.dll initpki.dll

Do not worry if some of these do not run or are not found. It simply means that particular dll does not apply to your version or system configuration.
Say how you get on...

Thanks for the reply. It will help me a lot in the future.
I have already solve the problem. It's just some temp files appear inside the folders of my Symantec Antivirus. I checked the other computer in my office but there shoudn't have it in there. So, I just deleted these files by running in safe mode first and then restart my computer and internet explorer runs normally now.

Thanks again!
