I am using a Hewlett Packard Pavilion, with Windows 98. When I boot up, I
get an error message that says:

"The C:\windows\iedll.exe appears to be corrupt. Reinstall the file and try
again."

What is this file for? How can I reinstall it? Or get rid of it, assuming it
is not a necessary file.

NOTE: if you can not get to these sites then your HOSTS file has been
hijacked as well. See the following about HOSTS file.

Get and update SpyBot Search and Destroy through its online update function.

Get a good HOSTS file to stop theses nasties.

SpywareBlaster also stops these nasties.

Keep these things up to date as new nasties come along just like
viruses/worms.

This stuff is discussed in alt.privacy.spyware.
 
I was advised to use CWShredder.exe.

It worked! I downloaded CWShredder.exe and ran it. When I re-booted, the
corrupt file message did not appear. Thanks for your help.
