• You may have to format your computer’s hard disk and reinstall Windows and
all your computer programs if one or more of the following conditions are
true:

• Your antivirus software displays a message that it cannot fix or remove
the virus.
• The virus damaged or deleted some of the important files on your computer.
This may be the case if Windows or some of the programs do not start, or if
they start with error messages that indicate that you have damaged or missing
files
• The symptoms that are described in this article persist even after you
clean your workstation and you are sure the problems are caused by a virus.


you may be able to repair IE, BUT it may not work, and cause more frustration.

Or goto Start/Run and type

c:\windows\inf\ie.inf

Then you will need to run Windows Update again after
