SYMPTOMS

   App name      App version  Module name  Module version  Offset
   ----------------------------------------------------------------
   iexplore.exe  6.0.2600.0   bpboh.dll    1.0.0.0         00002d1b
   iexplore.exe  6.0.2600.0   bpboh.dll    1.0.0.0         000046c0
                

CAUSE

This issue may occur if you have installed the Wurld Media version of the Bpboh.dll file that is included with the preview edition of Morpheus version 1.3.3.1. When you start Internet Explorer, the Wurld Media version of the Bpboh.dll file starts and attaches itself to Internet Explorer. After this occurs, the Bpboh.dll file tries to redirect you to Web sites other than the ones you select when you are trying to visit Web sites.
