I get an error message when I try to run certain programs online! Everytime
I run a virus scan online this happens. It gets to the point where it will
start and the error message pops up.
I know I have a Java Byte Virus.
Here is the error description: iexplorer.exe application then states that
the application will close due to errors.
Why is this happening?
It started about a month ago and will not go away.
I am running Windows XP Pro and I have all the updates.
Have you run your AV yet? It is possible that you have a virus or Trojan
that is causing the problem. It is also possible you may have been hijcked,
or have parasites, spy, ad or malware on your system causing the problem.
Download, install, update the SpyBot and AdAware programs to be sure they
have the latest definitions, then run the programs below. They are free and
very effective. Be sure to run both SpyBot and Adaware, as what one does not
detect the other may. Follow the directions carefully:
If you have not run you AV do that first. Then run the CWShredder, then
HiJackThis, and the other two, in the order they're posted here. Follow the
directions carefully:
