Internet Explorer

[Richie NY]

Can you uninstall and reinstall the explorer?

I am working on someones PC and I am having a dog of a
time with spyware. I am running Spybot S&D, Adaware,
Norton Antivirus, tried Hijack this and the CWShredder
all with current definitions, but to no avail when I open
the explorer, popups crash it. Even My Computer crashes,
because it is an explorer as well. I'm sure it's a virus
before it's really defined as spyware.

Try running your spyware programs in Safe mode.
I'm very pleased with the MS Anti-Spyware Beta-download, install and run it.

Are you running all those removal utilities in Safe Mode?

I wouldn't download that piece of shit if you paid me.

Thanks I'll give it a whirl, there's one last nasty bug
crippling this persons machine and hopefully MS's beta
spyware tool will help.

Take care

For viruses, start with Trend Micro’s Sysclean and McAfee’s Stinger.
Download them and the Sysclean signature file. Turn off system restore,
boot into safe mode and run them. Boot back into normal mode and run a
full AV scan with your normal AV program. Then turn system restore back
on.
