Invalid INF File?

[Jay Gorinson]

Whenever I'm not using internet explorer and I click on a
hyperlink my computer refuses to allow me to go directly
to the site, and error message pops up whenever I click
on a hyperlink it says at the top "Internet Explorer
Update" and then below in the error box it says "Invalid
INF File" with an X next to it. The only option it gives
me is to click OK and thats what I do. What I have to do
is copy the hyperlink and paste it in the address box
lately instead of just clicking directly on the link and
it taking me to the proper web page. I think what it is
doing is routing it to the wrong place somehow. I spoke
with dell and they said that this was a software problem
and that i need to contact you.
Thank you for your help,
Jay

Jay,
Did you recently install any updates from "Windows Update"
that maybe didn't install properly?
