Unable to open IE. "Internet Explorer has encountered a
problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the
inconvenience" This pops up even when I have not
launched IE. I tried to reinstall but this has not seemed
to help.
 
From Control Panel> Internet Options> Advanced uncheck "Enable third party
browser extensions." That should allow IE to open.

Run CWShredder from http://www.merijn.org/downloads.html It's been
the most helpful with this problem. It may be the only cleanup program you
need this time. CWShredder is only about 125 KB so it could be downloaded
from another machine onto a floppy disk.

Search for and remove other malware and note the security tips at:

http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

You should re-enable browser extensions after the cleanup.

Try look in this newsgroup. The question has been up several times the last
days.
 
Tad,

To test with: Disable third-party browser extensions in Internet Explorer
1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Internet Options.
3. Click the Advanced tab.
4. Under Browsing, clear the Enable third-party browser extensions (requires restart) check box.
5. Restart Internet Explorer.
