internet explorer error

[eric]

i have never had any problem with my internet explorer
until last weekend. it stopped working and i get a
message that there is an error and it kicks me out. i
looked at the error log and the iexplorer.exe seems to be
the source of the problem. after going round and round
with different technical help resources. no one can tell
me a way to uninstall iexplorer.exe and re-install it
without basically reinstalling my entire system - which i
really want to avoid. i am very frustrated. i am ready
to go to a different browser because at least it will be
a simple install. please help!

I am experiencing the same problem. I start Internet
Explorer and goes immediately into "Microsoft Internet
Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We
are sorry for the inconvenience." Then it asks if I want
to send a report and restart. I have sent the report, but
no luck. When it re-starts it cycles back to the same pop-
up window.

Things I have tried that did not work:
1) Repair (through add/remove programs)
2) Re-install IE 6 SP 1
3) Clean-Boot
4) Setting all IE options I can find to the default
5) Deleted all the cookies.

Any help would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Harold

i have gone through the same things and it is
frustrating. No one seems to have the answer. if i do get
a solution i will post it. my computer manufacturer sends
me to look at microsoft sites(which is tough without the
internet)and always has the disclaimer that they are not
responsible for anything that happens. my Product id is
an "oem" one so i cannot go to Microsoft without paying.
no one seems to know how to just install the internet
explorer. if it is not possible, then at least tell me
that. they suggested uninstalling windows xp and
reinstalling xp which will make me lose files (which i do
not want) i am very frustrated and ready to just give up
and download a different browser like netscape since that
can be installed by itself. sorry to vent, but i feel
like i am out on a limb here with no help in sight and
worse no one seems to care.

I'm also experiencing the same problem and I also tried
the same fixes to no avail. I have resorted to using MSN
and AOL to access the internet but I would much rather
return to IE. Any help would be appreciated.

I found this on another thread and it seems to fix the
problem:

This is probably a spyware / parasite problem.

From Control Panel> Internet Options> Advanced>
uncheck "Enable third party
browser extensions."

That should allow IE to work. Then Run CWShredder from
http://www.net-integration.net/tools/hijackthis.html
CWShredder is only
about 125 KB so it could be downloaded from another
machine onto a floppy
disk if necessary.

You might also be able to browse and download programs
from the address bar
of Windows Explorer.

Follow up CWShredder with Ad-aware and Spybot S&D.
See: Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
Also note the many security tips at that site.

You should re-enable browser extensions after the cleanup.

iexplorer.exe is hijackware. The MS file is iexplore.exe
Iexplorer.exe:
