explorer and IE still causing kernel32.dll errors, ideas ???

[Weasel]

I thought about previous advice to use restore to about a month ago, but the
problem is; is that I have not done any updating since waaaaay before that.
Something I have installed has caused this, but since I almost never use the
other profiles, its hard to tell what got installed to cause the problem. I
have since removed the offending profiles. I tried to create a new account,
but the problem persists.

Thanks, Derek

Check for hijackware:

I highly recommend using HijackThis to identify and assist in the removal of
these bad guys. **Post your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/, not

NB: If you have ever downloaded HijackThis or CWShredder, it is urgent that
you upgrade to the latest versions before using them again. Due to a new
variant of the CWS Trojan, using either HijackThis or CWShredder on an
infected Win98 or WinME computer may lead to severe damage to that computer.
You must update to the very newest versions of these programs before using
either of them again, and you should get a new copy of CWShredder before
each and every use.

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.
