Ever since I had a bout with a trojan, Internet Explorer
will not open itself. I only get a screen asking about
sending a report to Microsoft. I was trying to re-
download the whole browser from the Microsoft website but
can't find anywhere to do so.
 
Hi Ren :-)

Sometimes removing spyware or malware will cause the connection to the
Internet to be lost or damaged. Try the following and see if it helps:

Download, install and run LSPFIX from any of the following sites:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
(if your OS is Win2k or XP) The process of removing certain malware may kill
your internet connection. If this should occur, this program, LSPFIX, will
enable you to regain your connection.

Also, download, install and run WINSOCKXPFIX available at:
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
and
WinsockXP Fix- WinXP
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
Also, with instructions, at

also
From LavaSoft- all versions of Windows-

also ....
(NOTE: It is reported that in XP SP2, the command netsh winsock reset
will fix this problem without the need for these programs.)

or ........

Winsock Fix Utility

If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages.

Hope this helps

sounds like some file is bad, sometimes trojan leave
little friends, suggest you get another scan, and scan
for other scumware. try chkdisk and defrag.
