a program that was installed that must have come in through the backdoor. I
knew i didn't install any program on the date this program was created, and once
i deleted the program I got internet explorer back. Some of these backdoor
programs created by these adware companies are so maliciious that they bypass
all firewall and antivirus programs and install without user intervention.
Scarry..........

any suggestions on how to fix this?
