My sister-in-law’s computer is running Avast and it supposedly discovered Tipsea-E at some point…she says she put it in the chest (which I confirmed she did) and ever since then, when she runs Internet Explorer, it will take forever and then come up with “page cannot be displayed” . I have taken a look at the problem and discovered that after 2 or 3 refreshes of loading the page, the page will then display correctly. After that, as long as you don’t wait too long (more than 25 seconds it seems), pages (any URL) can be displayed without a problem. Once the approximately 25 seconds expires, I must again wait until the first try times out, and most likely the second try; then the third try goes normally. This can be repeated with the same results consistently.
I watch the cable modem activity LED, and it seems a request is not even being sent when it eventually comes back with “cannot display page”. On the successful try, it appears a request goes out.
Avast no longer finds any problems when doing a scan. Nor does a boot time scan.
I tried downloading and running Netscape and I have the same exact problem with that.
Googling for other people with the same problem, it seems Tipsea-E has been found in rlvknlg.exe before, and this file is a part of MarketScore:
