Ie Doesn't Start And Computer Virus
 

I have been using IE -6 for quite some time and just a couple of days ago it won't start up. Also I have other viruses on my computer which is slowing down my comuter. I am currently using Mozilla, I ran the AVG anti spyware tool and I am attaching the report file that was generated.

Before you run AVG AS it is nice to run a cleaner first to remove the cookies which clutter the AVG log. Anyway, to give us a quick glance at the state of your sys, would you pls do this...

Re: Ie Doesn't Start And Computer Virus
 

well, that did not show anything. I think you shall have to give the room more clues, a bit more info on the exact nature of the problem.
[you have broken cydoor, which is annoying adware trash, so don't expect your kazaa to run anymore... :)]

Re: Ie Doesn't Start And Computer Virus
 

Okay, as mentioned previously my IE does not load up I see the ieplorere.exe running in the task manager but nothing is happening. The system stops responding if I leave the computer idle for more than 5 mins, meaning if I try and open any folder on my desktop or open any application such Outlook express, Mozilla the system does not respond. In order to solve this problem I have to keep logging out and logging back in every time, it is very annoying.
Would you like me to attach a snapshot of processes running on my machine maybe there is something that is not supposed to be there. I have also tried removing and re-installing IE but that does not do anything. I am not running kazza and I haven't used it more then a year now.
Thanks in advance,
Amit

Re: Ie Doesn't Start And Computer Virus
 

I actually do not know how you removed IE from XP SP2: it is integral. If you worked via CP > windows components, then that only stops it running, but does not remove it; likewise rechecking that box does not reinstall it. The only way I know how to do it is via windows Repair installation option in windows Setup on the XP SP2 install cd. That is, I know that way works, for sure.... but you must then reinstall all windows updates. But I have used windows .inf files to repair Outlook Express and I see no reason why you cannot try the same with IE - I'd like you to give it a shot....and tell me how you get on. Simply open C:\windows\inf, rclick ie.inf and select Install - you will receive prompts [insert XP SP2 cd etc.].
This next will not actually repair IE, but there may be a "related" problem which is stopping it displaying, and you should try this before the previous method because it will not result in your having to reinstall any other components such as updates: you could run system file checker with that install cd - go Start > run, type:
sfc /scannow - and insert your cd when requested.
Please let me know how you get on..
