I have recently been getting an error message from internet
ecplorer that says it has encountered a problem and needs
to shut down. It is to the point where I really can't even
use ie. beacause each page I visit will bring the message.
anyway, when I view the details of the error it has
something to do with a file from a system32 with the name
of msobfl.dll. Now I am basically a novice at
troubleshooting these kind of problems so any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Check your system for "hijackware":

You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each and every
use, even "right out of the box". But even then, they can't catch
everything. HijackThis (http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip) is the
preferred tool to use these days. It will help to both identify and remove
any hijackware/spyware. **Post your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.
