Hi,
Whenever I click on IE icon i get an error and a suggestion to notify microsoft of that error. However I can still use IE browser by starting Windows Explorer instead, although when i click on a link that requires opening of a new browser window i get the error once again. I use IE6 and XP pro. I downloaded all available updates from Microsoft but the problem hasn't been solved. I appreciate any input and feedback.
thanks.
Jump to PostGo into your Administrative Tools folder, open up Event Viewer, and have a look through your log files. Are there any error messages in your logs which contain more specific information pertaining to the problem?
Jump to PostBingo!
Good find, and congratulations- you are most likely the proud parent of a bouncing baby virus infection. More info on the "winshow" infections (and removal instructions) can be found in these links:

I'm moving this to the Viruses/Spyware forum now; buckle up...
Thank you. I downloaded Spy Sweeper refered by someone in the earlier threads, after i ran it seems like it fixed the problem, whether it was winshow and/or something else.
Webroot's Spy Sweeper is a reputable program- it may very well have done the trick for you.
