I began getting error messages that "Explorer has caused an error in
unknown and must shut down" when I tried installing a wireless card into my laptop. I have uninstalled the wireless card but am still getting the message. What could be going on? |

I began getting error messages that "Explorer has caused an error in unknown and must shut down" when I tried installing a wireless card into my laptop. I have uninstalled the wireless card but am still getting the message. What could be going on? First eliminate any scumware. See Dealing with Unwanted Malware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available he http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs...cwshredder.zip **Post your HijackThis log to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or the Spyware forum at http://forum.aumha.org/ for expert analysis, not here.** Alternative download pages for Ad-Aware, Spybot, HijackThis and CWShredder may be found on this page: http://aumha.org/a/parasite.htm. CAUTION!!!!! Before you try to remove spyware using any of the programs below, download a copy of LSPFIX from any of the following sites: http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html (if your OS is Win2k or XP) The process of removing certain malware may kill your internet connection. If this should occur, this program, LSPFIX, will enable you to regain your connection. If nothing there helps, please post back to this thread. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP, IE/OE Please respond in Newsgroup only.
