Lina,
You shouldn't close out a program by Ctrl-Alt-Del, unless it's necessary. If it won't
exit (not responding), then that's the way to do it. You should exit programs by
right clicking the icon in Systray and choosing exit. You probably need to disable
F Prot temporarily, by removing it completely from startup. Check within the program's
options for that choice. If it has no option, as with any program, you can uncheck
it in MSConfig. Then reboot and make sure it's not running.
That error indicates IExplore not Lexplore, and those errors in Kernel32.dll can
mean quite a number of different things. It's a core component of Windows. If you
can't locate an Lexplore after all this, it's not there. Obviously, there's a problem
somewhere. I need to ask you, what was the reason you did a reinstall? You said problems
on the desktop and a lot of spyware issues. This shows possibilites for Kernel32.dll
errors:
Troubleshooting KERNEL32.DLL Errors
Try this app to kill all running processes: EnditAll 1 It's been recommended a lot here on the
forums, but only if other things fail. I suggest you first exit the programs in Systray
area, then run this to get anything else still running in the background. Then try
again. Otherwise, forget the virus scan for now and make sure F Prot is up to date.
Btw, AVG is a highly recommended, freeware anti virus program. For future reference,
when F-Prot expires and you'd rather use that, you will need to make sure F-Prot
is completely uninstalled first. Many require some manual removal also.
I wouldn't doubt that old version of Internet Explorer isn't helping anything. Plus,
since it's not been updated or upgraded, there's no option to run the repair tool.
IE has a repair option, in later versions. See if you can find a way to load a newer
version of IE. Considering the problems you're having, I'm unsure whether a lengthy
download is the way to go. It would be a shame, if the download were to be corrupt,
after all that also.
Is the virus scan the only problem you have while online? Do you, or did you use
a P2P file sharing program prior to these problems showing up? It's coming down to
more of a Windows issue now, rather than spyware. Your system is clean of junk apps,
according to your logs, etc. I can only go by what I see in those logs, as far as
spyware and other baddies. It might be a good idea to run scan disk to correct errors
on the drive then defrag, clearing out temps first and exiting programs. You've had
a lot of problems with errors, is one reason.
