i used spyware to delete some files. i guess some of the spyware embedded itself onto IE, 'cometcursor' i think, as after it got deleted, IE doesnt connect to the internet. must have deleted some crucial files. all other programs r ok. im using netscape now. so how do i get iE working again.
downloading ie again doesnt work as the setup already detects ie on the comp.
deleting from add/remove windows components doesnt work as i guess ie is embedded whithin windows xp.
just deleting the ie folder deosnt work either.
