when opening IE it crashes, and next to modname it says unknown, i deleted
cookies, temp files, all that. I also downloaded Netscape Navigator and it
seems to work ok but also crashes often and also says modname unknown.
I have Windows XP Pro SP2 and it just started happening, what could i do?

What programs did you use for the scan and did you do them in safe mode?
