What will happen if i delete this file

[Guest]

what will happen if i delete this file:

c:\windows\system32\iexplore32.exe

if i did delete it is there any way that i could get the file back without
the use of a windows xp cd ?

Hi,

As far as i know iexplore32.exe is not a microsoft program, Internet
explorer is Iexplore.exe. so you may have a virus or spyware on your
computer. Best thing would be to scan your computer first for virus then
unless you know what program uses this file just rename it first and check
everything still works if it does then it should be safe to delete it.

Hi

That file is not wanted as it is part of a Worm. Please have a look at the
following link with regard to removal:
