Browswer mayhem

Ok, FIRST IE7's icon just disappears from my desktop and is no where to be found in my list of programs. I thought perhaps I unwittingly loaded SP3 and it messed things up. That was a month ago.

THEN, I come home from work last night and FF3 won't open. The icon is there, unlike IE7's, but when I click it nothing happens.

Any hints?

Tim

System Restore scares me....

Could it be a virus?

Ran AVG and found nothing.

I think I read somewhere that SP3 for XPee messed up IE7, but I honestly don't think I installed it. I did allow some Windows XPee installs but I recall the files were rather small in size which seems to rule out me inadvertently installing SP3. But, then again...
