Done multiple virus scans with Norton, scanned with ad-aware SE, spybot s&d, re-upgraded the xp pro install. For some reason, Yahoo Instant Messenger, MSN Messenger, Internet Explorer, and Hijackthis, all crash immediately when opened, and give me that stupid blahblahblah has caused a problem and needs to close. I haven't recently installed or changed anything. I have done 2 system restores, and all attempts to un-install, re-install these programs has failed with the install wizard closing due to some insane problem. What the hell? Anyone have any suggestions?

Jump to PostTry to open some of these programs in safe mode. If they work there, then it could be malware causing the problem.

Jump to Posta couple of trojans
Some people would say: reinstall Windows.
Hijackthis freezes when it is scanning hosts file redirection
Well then, look into the hosts file. There shouldn't be anything else than localhost 127.0.0.1.
