Hi, and thanks,

I have done as you said, I have latest versions of all you mentioned,
plus I downloaded CWshredder.exe, plus Highjack, I ran them all
and found nothing? Another development now is if I open Windows Explorer
and click on the explorer icon at the bottom of the left pane, I can get my
home page,
plus if I type a burl in the address bar it opens that site?
I could even open Windows Update site! I have all updates available.
The big problem is, I cannot open links off the sites I open, I still get
the error report, also if I try to open the links from
messages within outlook Express the error message crops up,
but when I close it the program freezes, I have to do a ctrl-alt-del to
close it down,
and when it closes it also closes a couple of my task bar icons near the
clock?
As I said before the explorer icons on the desk top,
or the quick launch bar do not work at all.
I hope I have explained everything ok.
regards
azy
