I tried to open IE and receive this error: Windows cannot find C:\program
files\internet Explorer\iexplore.exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again.


I tried to do a restore but could not be done. I tried to uninstall IE and
re install did not help. I run Microsoft® Windows® Malicious Software Removal Tool (KB890830) it came clean. I did some other scan and online scan all seem to be OK.
If I delete the iexplore.exe it will reappear again after few seconds.

I'm posting my HijackThis (v2.0.2) log - Can you please help.

Welcome to Safer Networking, I wish to be sure you have viewed and understand this information.
"BEFORE you POST" (READ this Procedure before Requesting Assistance) http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288
All advice given is taken at your own risk.
Please make sure you have read this information so we are on the same page.

I apologize for the wait, volunteers are swamped at all forums with infected computers. If you have resolved your issues, please post to let me know so I can close this topic.

If you still need help, and you have read and followed the "Before you Post" directions, post a new HJT log since it has been five days, and I will take a look, please describe any recent symptoms.

I can not say if I can help or not until you read and follow the directions. They all must be followed, but especially this one:

Provide: The HJT log only.
Note: In notepad under Format, uncheck "Word Wrap" Produce all HJT logs like this, single spaced.
single-spaced - (of type or print) not having a blank space between lines. Otherwise the log is hard to read.
It is preferable, and the log easier to read, if you do not use the [code] or [php] options.

Thanks
