until afew days ago my pc was fine, now when I access
the net i get C:\windows\system32\iefiltering.dll bad
image not supported, when I click ok, nothing happens, I
have to ctrl/alt/delete, which brings up task master,
then I get Socket error #10061

any help would be most appreciated, because I have no
idea whats happened, i've even done a system restore
 
Hi Dee,

Sounds like somethings installed that you don't really want. Iefiltering.dll
is not a Windows or IE file, and it was probably supplied by some junkware
that is now on your system.

1) Install and run Adaware from www.lavasoft.de

2) Install and run Spybot from www.safer-networking.org

3) Install and run Spyware Blaster from
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

4) Turn on the native firewall or install a third-party one (a third party
firewall will notify you of outgoing traffic as spyware programs "phone
home", the native one won't).

Hiya

Thanks for your help, I do have spyware killa installed
on my pc, do the others you suggested, do the same job?

To add to my original post, this also comes up as a
header to the error message - Syshost.exe - bad image

The only recent download was the google toolbar with pop
up blocker.

Thanks

Dee
