My computer about a month ago got the "actulice" issue you might have seen on this page however at the same time as getting that issue I also get a lot of "Iexplore" when pressing ctl-alt-dlt. These slow my computer down greatly. I only will have 1 or 2 MS Internet Explorers open but it might show of them or more. Any idea what might be causing this and do you have a way to fix it?

I'm not sure what you are saying but it sounds like you are having some kind of problem with IE. My motto is #1 check the connections and the off/on switch first, and then #2 Avoid the problems and re-install whatever is messing up. Try this: http://www.burzurq.com/forum/trevtweak.html You just got rid of actulice, that's a major bug. Sometimes when you get rid of a major bug it frags IE. You might want ot re-install IE: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/ie6sp1/default.asp There's no way to tell if you are updated, and that solves a lot of problems. Update everything--Windows, IE, Outlook Express even if you don't use it, updating it will affect IE settings positively. Keep your AV updated.

Try repairing Internet Explorer first, before attempting to reinstall IE. 1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Add/Remove Programs. 2. On the Install/Uninstall tab, click Microsoft Internet Explorer 5, click Add/Remove, click Repair the current installation of Internet Explorer, and then click OK.
