iexplore.exe

I get an error message when I open my computer. The
message reads "Iexplore has caused an error in
INTERHOLE.EXE

Any help appreciated.

Win Me contains no file named INTERHOLE.EXE nor can I find any references
to a file with such a name on the net which leads me to believe that it is
malicious and that your PC is infected with malware of some sort, possibly
a trojan or virus or perhaps a commercial parasite.

If you haven't already done so I would strongly recommend that you check
your system for possible viruses using your preferred anti virus
application equipped with an updated set of viral signatures. However you
might first want to check your PC using one of the online virus checks
such as McAfee's online checker
(http://us.mcafee.com/root/mfs/default.asp) or Trend Micro's Housecall
(http://housecall.antivirus.com).

This would be a good time to download yourself a copy of the free Ad-Aware
SE Personal edition from Lavasoft
(http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and also SpyBot Search &
Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and use them to check your
system for other commercial parasites remembering that they are only as
good as when you last updated their reference files. I also use a program
called BHODemon (http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm) that
checks for unwanted Browser Help Objects and SpywareBlaster
(http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html) which can help
prevent some parasites getting a grip on your PC.

Then there is CWShredder
(http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip) which is the
best way of getting rid of the many forms of the CoolWebSearch hijacker
details of which can be found at
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html and also
http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/c/cws.asp..

Finally if you still continue to experience problems download a copy of
HijackThis from (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html).
Create a folder called HJT on C: (not on your desktop nor in your temp
folder) and copy the file you downloaded to that folder. Close as many
applications as you can including all instances of Internet Explorer.
Enable Explorer to see all files and folders (Tools | Folder Options |
View and check "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected
operating system files") and then run hijackthis.exe and post back the log
to either the HijackThis Forum at http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or
alternatively http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30 and hopefully this
will enable someone to identify the cause of your problem.
