Update your antivirus software and do a full system scan.

You have a couple of different spellings for the file? What is the error
message?

Either way, it's likely that you have a virus or spyware on the system.

Run a complete virus scan using your anti-virus program with the latest
virus definitions. If this comes up clean, see the following links for help.

Many problems with Internet Explorer are caused by spyware applications that
invade the browser. You should get the free version of AdAware and Spybot to
help remove these applications.
