Dear Lina, what problems you're having. If you'd already told me you couldn't run
a virus scan, forgive me for forgetting about that.
Since you did have that Lexplore issue previously, the executable file may still
be in your directories somewhere. The Lexplore.exe must be deleted, and obvously
it wasn't. Run a search using Find - Files or Folder. Look in box, make sure C drive
shows. In the named box, type: Lexplore.exe. hit Enter. Note the location/s, and
I'll bet it's in the Windows or Windows\System folder.
I'm not sure, if it'll work to delete it within Windows, if it's running in task
manager. It might be better to boot into Safe mode, and delete it. That's often the
case. Get back to me and let me know.
You probably need to run the IE repair tool also, if thigs are goofed up with downloading
those ActiveX virus scans. The IE installation often gets messed up, when removing
baddies or just from use. It's so integrated into Windows. I'll post instructions,
in case you get a chance to do it.
To repair Internet Explorer: Go to Start - Run - in the Open box, type: msinfo32
- click OK. From Tools the menu - choose IE Repair Tool -- Repair IE. If you get
an error message saying it can't be repaired, you'll need to reinstall it by running
the IESetup.exe again.
