IEXPLORER errors Please Help

[evilfantasy]

There is likely no need to buy a new computer.

I would suggest looking for a new XP install disk and use it to install XP. That will give you a fresh start and you will also have the disk in case something like this happens again, then you can just do a repair.

Will do. I will install XP next week.  So I guess I am down and out for now. Is their a way to check things on start up and shut down will not hallpw because yudater or yupdater forget which one pops up and does not allow for a proper shutdown. When I hit the X to rid of it I get a blue screen and wait a while then shut ut down with the button. I will try it at say 11pm then get up areund 4 and the machine is still on. Should I load up the "Microsoft Updates" the machine keeps talking about. I also clean c files and defrag every 3 days they say once a month but i guess it never hurts. Just so you know I am a whistle blowe at my former employment and do not know if this has anything to do with whats going on. And the Co. is one of the largest in the nation. I can't even remove CA anymore. Gives me errors. I was going to try one at a time from the 4 what do you think and what about downloading updates from microsoft? Thanks again evil you have been very helpfull. Terk13

Uninstall Yahoo messenger and see if it clears up.

Get the updates.

And If I uninstall this I can go to Yahoo main page to check mail correct then one day I can reinstall messanger or would I leave well enough alone? I just have to be able to get my mail from yahoo.

[evilfantasy]

You will still be able to get mail at the homepage.

Ok my wife thinking she was helping just downloaded for a free scan but just downloaded it did not run the scan from "Uniblue Registry Booster Version 2" I cannot find it in my remove this program. Since she did not do the scan will it remove itself when the PC is shut down. I cannot find it anywhere in the control panal. Have you heard of them, what would they be under and how do I remove it before she tries to scan the PC. I explained we had done that already and I was going to remove yahoo messenger. When I remove it what should I make the main page still yahoo but in it's normal form? Thanks again I could kill her but she is trying to help and sees me at this thing to fix it for her and feels bad.

I wouldn't use Uniblue Registry Booster. It could cause more problems then what you have now. The tools in the malware removal guide are plenty and safe.

If you can't find it maybe it never actually got installed?

[terk13]

It would be under uniblue correct. Its not in my add /rmove programs. She did not do the scan just hit the download button then I shut the computer down after the folder showed up and looked like it downloaded but maybe I got rid of it on time. She said a folder open then the bars filled up then I shut her down and am back with you.

Once or twice a week registry scan should help keep your computer in good shape. That's what I was told by a microsoft certified tech support.

RegistryFix is a nice paid program, it sped up my computer after some cleans.

But as of now, terk, finish all the things that evilfantasy is helping you with before getting into other stuff.

[evilfantasy]

This PC has enough problems that I'm afraid a registry cleaner might just do it the rest of the way in...

Of course, fix the problems first. Registry cleaner should just be used for maintenance once computer is in good shape, in my opinion.

Then what should we try next? And what would we do about the IEXPLORER.exe Problem. Thanks. Their has to be somthing hideing in their.  then maybe try registry scan.  Yhat might help if everything looks good.  Should I put in malware again and do another scan. I would be happy to get rid of the IEXPLORER the slowness I can deal with. I cannot open my setings for CA either the PC won't allow it. Also under firewall sould safe and restricted both be checked or should restricted have a ? mark under access and mail etc. and YPager.exe, wmplayer and setup-wmexe show up as well should they?  Thanks E
