I've recently been having problems with Microsoft Internet Explorer and MSN
messenger. I've been receiving a constant stream of error messages, most of
them script error messages, although I haven't been able to access my mail
using MSN messenger or view peoples profiles etc . After running Adaware it
stated that there was a vulnerability found in one of the Microsoft keys, I
deleted the "damaged" registry key, however I was wondering if anyone knew
what this problem might be about.
