So I recently got a virus and it completely corrupted the Iexplorer.exe

I figured I may as well just install a new copy of Internet Explorer, overwrite all the files, and see if that works...

Well, lo and behold - Every time I tried to open Firefox after installing it, the process would blip for a split second in the Task manager and immediately close out.

I figure somethings just screwing up so I restart; same problem. Well, I figure I won't put it past the bastards, I uninstall IE8

What do you know, Firefox opens just fine once again...

Don't ya just love it?


I have a sig because I was told to. Now leave me be about it.

You should be warning people about viruses not Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 Release Candidate. Also you should look into a combination of fixes.

CHDKSK C: /r
SFC /SCANNOW (requires Windows XP Disk)
Windows Updates
New antivirus software.
