    that fix your internet explorer ?

    if not do this

    1. Download IEFix, unzip it to your Desktop, and run it.

    2. Click the Apply button.

    3. You'll be prompted for the Operating System CD or the Service Pack Files location:

    • If you're using Windows XP, insert the Operating System CD. For OEM systems, point to the Operating System source path when prompted. If you've applied a Service Pack separately, you need to insert the Slipstreamed Operating System CD (if you have one) or point the installer to the ServicePack source path when prompted (see the image below). Mention the path as "C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386" or "C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles"
    • If you don't have the Windows installation CD, and if the installation source files are not present in the hard disk, you may click Cancel when you see a dialog similar to the image below. IEFix will continue with DLL registration part.

    Your using an old version of Adobe Acrobat Reader, this can leave your pc open to vulnerabilities, you can update it here :

    http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

    Please download JavaRa to your desktop and unzip it to its own folder

    • Run JavaRa.exe, pick the language of your choice and click Select. Then click Remove Older Versions.
    • Accept any prompts.
    • Open JavaRa.exe again and select Search For Updates.
    • Select Update Using Sun Java's Website then click Search and click on the Open Webpage button. Download and install the latest Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version for your computer.

    Below I have included a number of recommendations for how to protect your computer against malware infections.

    • Keep Windows updated by regularly checking their website at :
      http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
      This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer.
    • SpywareBlaster protects against bad ActiveX, it immunizes your PC against them.
    • SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts. Make sure you are only running one real-time anti-spyware protection program ( eg : TeaTimer, Windows Defender ) or there will be a conflict.
    • Make Internet Explorer more secure
      • Click Start > Run
      • Type Inetcpl.cpl & click OK
      • Click on the Security tab
      • Click Reset all zones to default level
      • Make sure the Internet Zone is selected & Click Custom level
      • In the ActiveX section, set the first two options ("Download signed and unsigned ActiveX controls) to "Prompt", and ("Initialize and Script ActiveX controls not marked as safe") to "Disable".
      • Next Click OK, then Apply button and then OK to exit the Internet Properties page.

      [*]TFC - Cleans temporary files from IE and Windows, empties the recycle bin and more. Great tool to help speed up your computer and knock out those nasties that like to reside in the temp folders.

      [*]MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites and other bad sites. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer, meaning it will be difficult to infect yourself in the future.

      [*]Please consider using an alternate browser. Mozilla's Firefox browser is fantastic; it is much more

      secure than Internet Explorer, immune to almost all known browser hijackers, and also has the best built-in pop up

      blocker (as an added benefit!) that I have ever seen. If you are interested, Firefox may be downloaded from

      Here

      If you choose to use Firefox, I highly recommend these add-ons to keep your PC even more secure.

      • NoScript - for blocking ads and other potential website attacks
      • McAfee SiteAdvisor - this tells you whether the sites you are about to visit are safe or not. A must if you do a lot of Googling

      [*]Keep a backup of your important files - Now, more than ever, it's especially important to protect your digital files and memories. This article is full of good information on alternatives for home backup solutions.

      [*]ERUNT (Emergency Recovery Utility NT) allows you to keep a complete backup of your registry and restore it when needed. The standard registry backup options that come with Windows back up most of the registry but not all of it. ERUNT however creates a complete backup set, including the Security hive and user related sections. ERUNT is easy to use and since it creates a full backup, there are no options or choices other than to select the location of the backup files. The backup set includes a small executable that will launch the registry restore if needed.

      [*]FileHippo Update Checker is an extremely helpful program that will tell you which of your programs need to be updated. Its important to keep programs up to date so that malware doesn't exploit any old security flaws.

      [*] Recovery Console - Recent trends appear to indicate that future infections will include attacks to the boot sector of the computer. The installation of the Recovery Console in the computer will be our only defense against this threat. For more information and steps to install the Recovery Console see This Article. Should you need assistance in installing the Recovery Console, please do not hesitate to ask.

      [*]Please read my guide on how to prevent malware and about safe computing here

    Thank you for your patience, and performing all of the procedures requested.
