Buffer Overrun
Posted by Eric W on February 26th, 2006


When I am in internet Explorer and go to google.com, and put in my search
item and hit the search button, I get the following message:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Buffer overrun detected!

Program: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE

A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's
internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be
terminated.

I have to exit IE and then go back into it and back to google.com and it
works...

Any suggestions on what I can try to fix this?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!!!

Are you back leveled in maintenance? This article
discusses a fix that's almost two years old.

The other possibilty is that you have a virus or other
malware.

If there's something there, it may lead to a solution.

A second thought is to run SFC /SCANNOW.
(In case there's a corrupt file somewhere)

Dave,
I tried the SFC /SCANNOW and it found 6 files that it had to restore...
I didn't see anything in the event manager either...
But, I am still getting the same Buffer Overrun error...

Any more thoughts! I do appreciate the help!

Eric

I am having the exact same problem that Eric is having primarily when I try
to start a Google search, but recently the problem is happening when I try to
open a web page directly. I receive an error message that says "Microsoft
Visual C++ Runtime Library Buffer overrun detected PRogram C:\Program
Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" then I'm kicked off of IE. Eric, have
you found any solution. Dave's solutions don't work for me either.
