My virus software tells me that C:\windows\iexplorer.exe is infected with the win32/spybot.qz virus. It says it can't clean the infected file, but it gives me the option to delete it. Does it mean delete the virus, or delete the whole iexplorer.exe file? Obviously, if I do that, Internet Explorer won't run.
yes If you do that IE wont run, but you can easily install it again what oyu can do is download a different browser for the mean time, delete IE and then re-download IE and install it using the other browser. Several are: Mozilla firbird and opera. www.opera.com
Yes, is there a site I can download IE 6.0 as a single zipped file, and just re install it? I know that on Microsoft's own site, you download a setup file, and the browser is installed over the 'net, but of course that won't work with a deleted browser! Ken
Problem fixed. I set up Mozilla browser, then deleted the virus, but IE 6 continues to work without reinstalling. As long as everything works..... Ken
