When I boot up my computer, I get an error message
saying: Explorer has cused an error in IYSETUP.DLL
Explorer will now close.

If you continue to experience proglems,try restarting
your computer.

(It doesn't automatically close, but if I close the error
box, my entire desktop disappears including the task bar
at the bottom, so I can't do anything. Restarting
computer doesn't help.)

I have other problems as well, which are strange URLs
popping up on my screen that then seem to call other spam
pages. I have Zone Alarm firewall on my computer and it
is constantly telling me that some strang somethingor
other is trying to access my computer. I have been
denying all access.

My computer also freezes up after a few minutes of
deleting all the pop up and pop under pages.

I don't know if these problems are related; they may be
separate.

HiJack This is a program that simply searches for programs that run at
boot time, and checks for browser plug-ins. The results this program
gives you are generally just informative. Most of the programs it will
come up with are valid programs that you actually want running. You'll
have to go through the results and tell the program to delete unwanted
programs. If you can't figure out what some of the programs are, don't
just delete them, research them and/or post them so experts can let
you know what the program does. Just type the program name into google
which gets a decent answer pretty quickly.
