I Hate IE

[DeeBye]

I'm at my wits end.

After a very frustrating afternoon, I've still yet to make progress with the computer.  AVG won't work because it can't find Shell.dll and then cannot find the temp setup.exe file.  I've tried to use housecall from trend micro, to no avail.  I won't bother listing the ridiculous things I've tried, but I'm at my wits end.

I get fed up fast and always end up formatting.  But my harddrive can't love me too much after the multiple format's I've put it through.  Should I bite the bullet and just buy norton/mcafee?

Don't shell out cash you don't need to just yet. Besides, there's no guarantee that either McAffe or Norton will help. It might actually be preferable to just format and reinstall.

Unfortunately I can't give you any hard and fast answers as to how you can clean up your system. I'm just not that experienced enough at malware removal. Your best bet is to look for forums specializing in this sort of thing. There are plenty out there.
