I Cannot open (find iexplorer.exe). I posted at Tech Net community received
instructions for PA Bear to try Hijackware and have posted the log at
aumha.org.
I ran several malware and anti sypware apps they found two. those were
deleted. Ran two anti virus apps Symantec and CA found only one trojan and
deleted.
Still can not open iexplorer. Ran MS malwareremover was clean. Instaled
defender from a pan drive it download updates and ran (clean), I still cannot
open IE. I un installed IE and it's updates, re installed still no luck.
I need more help, thanks
