IE error in KERNEL32.DLL

[Bob]

Every time I try to start Explorer on my computer, I get
an error message stating:

Iexplorer has caused an error in KERNEL32.DLL.
Iexplorer will now close.

I can't get the program to start. Does anyone know what
the problem could be?

Thanks

Bob,
From Control Panel> Internet Options> Advanced uncheck "Enable third party
browser extensions." That should allow IE to open.

Run CWShredder from http://www.merijn.org/downloads.html It's been
the most helpful with this problem. It may be the only cleanup program you
need this time. CWShredder is only about 125 KB so it could be downloaded
from another machine onto a floppy disk.

Search for and remove other malware and note the security tips at:
Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites:

You should re-enable browser extensions after the cleanup.

Or...
A legitimate program running in the background may be causing this. Disable
(for diagnostic purposes) programs such as pop-up blockers, security,
anti-virus, etc. Also... notorious for causing problems- Gator, Kazaa and
some others.

There are other possibilities for KERNEL32 errors:
