anyone know how to fix this? my friend has win98 and recently got infected by the mydoom virus, resulting in about 400 odd e-mails waiting to download. he downloaded the removal tool Stinger, and repaired the infected files. however when he tries to open outlook, he gets the message 'MSIMN.exe missing' and asked to search for it, it is nowhere on his computer, which leads me to believe the virus has renamed the file. he also can't access the internet, hence the reason i am posting here. i have XP Pro, and i'm afraid im a bit rusty with 98's configuration. any help would be appreciated. thanks

Hi taco, hi everyone, MSIMN.EXE is the main program for Outlook Express and it is installed with Internet Explorer so both issues are connected! You don't say if your friend gets a system message when trying to run Internet Explorer. My advice would be to repair Internet Explorer! Start/Run/type MSinfo32 then click on OK/Tools/Internet Explorer Repair Utility Post back! Have a good day, Gérard from Paris, France
