The following error message is displayed when opening IE:
Runtime Error! Program: C:\Program Files\internet
explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE (next line) abnormal program
termination

I can not use my IE browser. How do I fix this?

Thanks for your help!!

virus scan, spy ware scan. That symptom is usually caused by spy ware
conflicting, or a virus.
 
I have just had this computer since Tuesday! I will be so mad if I have a
virus. I can't find my antivirus software. Can I get one free from the
web? Is that usually the only thing that causes this problem? Also, what
is spyware?

What is spyware? How did I get hacked? What is a bad BHO? My IE is
working now. Do I still need to fix something?

Many questions. Some reading:

http://www.spywareinfo.com/articles/spyware/
http://www.spychecker.com/spyware.html
http://www.cexx.org./adware.htm
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/Darnit.htm

Do the following:

Download Spybot - Search & Destroy: http://tomcoyote.org/SPYBOT/
It detects and removes all kinds of spyware, dialers, hijackers, and related nasties.

After installing, press Online, and search for, put a check mark at, and install all updates.

Now close all browser windows, hit 'Check for Problems', and have SpyBot remove all it finds.
When you've done all that, test your system, and see whether your problem is gone.

If it isn't, go to http://tomcoyote.org/hjt/ , and download Hijack This.

Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, and save the log somewhere

Next, go to http://www.spywareinfo.com/forums/

Sign in, go to the Spyware and Hijackware Removal section, press "new topic", explain your
problem, and copy and paste the contents of the Hijack This log into your new message. You'll get
expert assistance in dealing with your problem.

So after reading this I have come to the conclusion that the problems
happened after we installed Kazaa and Grokster. Is there any music
downloads programs that I do not have to worry about this stuff?
