Default Interent explorer not working

My ie is not working properly, I can open it and and then it sits there and flashes on the screen for ever!! Assuming I have spyware/virus action. I have scanned with AVG, found 1 virus and 29 threats, deleted them all. Then I scanned with Adware SE PRO found 85 threats, deleted them all. Is other programs I should be using and would work better?

Thanks!

Possibly some of your core system files are now damaged from the virus/adware cleaning. If you have a Windows disc, run the system file checker.

Enter sfc /scannow in the Run command.

OK will try that, and will advise what the outcome is!

Also, can i delete (uninstall IE) and reinstall, would that help?

uninstalling the virus is the only thing u could do... i perfer u reformat u computer just incase ur anti-virus left sum... Norton slows ur computer but use it then delete it because its the best protection... and McAfee has the best scan

spybot

get spywareblaster too, it's not a scanner program, but it'll help prevent some bad things from happening.

and of course, you could try not using IE. are you at least using the latest IE7?

backup your important files, reformat your computer and don't use internet explorer anymore. Use a different browser.

Thumbs down Why are You Using IE?

Come into the 20th Century and use Firefox and Thunderbird.

You do that, while the rest of us non-timetravellers, who live in the 21st century, use Internet Explorer
