Can anyone tell me what MSBB.exe is and what it does.
On my computer MSBB loads from startup. If this program
is left running Internet Explorer will not load. If MSBB
is not needed how do I uninstall it? If it is need how do
I fix it?

HijackThis (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/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

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