IE doesn't run

A whil ago everything ran fine. Until it began to quit the instant I see something, and it gives me the classical windows choice of "end program, send error report, or debug."
Internet Explorer is something i use alot of, and it would be appreciated for you comments.

Sounds like you might have some kind of malware on that machine. Try running some scans, spybot search and destroy, adaware se, antivirus, etc.

It seems that I've found something called Command.exe on spybot, and it says it `ouldn;t remove it because it was still running... so I restarted, and ran it again. It only managed to remove 1 of 3 registry keys...
Could Command.exe be affecting my computer?

You need to do some updated virus scans, command.exe is also associated with trojans. Try http://www.ewido.net/en/onlinescan/


I just ran across another post of yours. Is this the same computer that you were having trouble with IE 7?

lol. NO. Luckily not. Also, we had the same problem on another computer and I manually deleted all the other files that were causing the problem {viruses} on the this computer, and now I'm stuck reinstalling all my other apps on the laptop. ouch.
