Hi Lina, believe it or not, this thread is short compared to some. :)
Did you see my second reply about going into folder options? Click here: 1079836032
Hidden files when visible, are pale almost transparent. I suggest checking that out,
and just one more time, see if that Lexplore.exe comes up. It would probably be in
Windows folder. It couldn't execute, if it weren't there and if it were only in the
registry, it couldn't execute. Both your logs are clean.
I asked someone about that 'memory check failed' message you get when trying to run
a scan. That may be, because your own AV program is still running. You must turn
it off (temporarily disable), while the online scanner runs. You misunderstood me
about AV programs cleaning worms. They "don't" clean them, but some worms have removal
tools, but this isn't one of them.
You may be denied access to this ~dff776.tmp, only because it's currently in use.
I have those at times, and once your browser's closed, it won't be needed. Who knows,
what it's there for. As for IE. 4.0, I don't get it, because ver. 5.0 is part of
the 98 install! Even 5.0 is ancient and should be upgraded. The full download for
IE 5.5 SP2 is about 84 MB, which takes hours to download. If you have a good connection,
it may work.
If you happen to have a friend with a high speed connection that could burn it to
a CD, or an "older" AOL, or another ISP CD laying around, they have the complete
IE install files on them. They're compressed IE CAB files. The CD can be "explored",
then you can Copy the CABS to a new folder on the drive and run the IESetup.exe from
there. You'd want to be sure your CD's aren't set to Auto Run, when you stick them
in the drive. Wait on this IE upgrade for now.
P.S. I'll post registry edit instructions seperately, but that may not be necessary
if you can run a scan, etc. Let me know.
Carol
