    Today I attempted to open IE and immediately get the window saying that it has stopped working. There is no error message and I am not able to access IE online or off. Event viewer shows this error (which upon searching the exception code, there isn't any information):

    I have attempted to reset IE with no success. There have been no new software installed/downloaded except Microsoft updates. I attempted a restored point roll back but that had no affect and the problem continues. I also shut down Norton anti-virus with no change. I am running Windows 8.1 and everything was working fine the last time the computer was running. Any suggestions?

    We have a solution!

    From the Norton forums:

    Go to Control Panel, Internet Options
    On the Advance tab, under group security enable these two Options
    "Enable 64 bit processes for enhanced protected mode"
    and
    "Enable enhanced protected mode"

    This worked like a charm. Note: You will need to reboot after enabling protected mode.

    The problem is in Norton Antivirus / Norton Security - Intrusion Prevention - IPSeng32.dll, and was caused by a Live update on 20 February. Symantec is aware of the problem and is working on a fix (ETR unknown). The only way I know of to workaround it in IE is to completely uninstall Norton. IE will then work again. Symantec's answer is to use Chrome, but I reject that as a solution.

    Same here. Big problem, as my company's log in only supports Explorer, not chrome, so I cant log in anymore. Trouble is, if I deinstall Norton, I cant log in either, as they scan my computer for an anti virus software.....I hope Norton fixes this quickly!

    I got exactly same problem with SEP.Cloud. Uninstalling SEP will return IE to normal state. It is really a sad thing to know there is no other better workaround. Most organisations run IE for lotta web based apps.

    Ugh. This has been happening to me, too. I was wondering what did it. I guess I need to go hit Norton's forums and see what's happening.

    On the downside, I've been trying to fix this all evening. A lot of time wasted.

    On the bright side, I now know that my IE is pretty much pristine - I did ALL the troubleshooting tips on the site! It's as close to factory spec now as it can get without a clean wipe and re-install of Windows.

    This Option are missing in Advanced 

    "Enable 64 bit processes for enhanced protected mode"
    and
    "Enable enhanced protected mode"

    This worked like a charm. Note: You will need to reboot after enabling protected mode.

    Thanks Heather! The proposed solution works for now. We had this issue with Norton and IE11 on Windows 8.1.

    Merci beaucoup ! Works fine for me. Nevertheless, several modules de activated, including Java and Norton Vulnerability Protection, due to enhanced security.

    I'm just glad it was fixed. And, yes, I tested the new update by disabling enhanced protected mode. It works now. 

    Thank you for being on the ball!
