    I removed the viris topsoftwarefeed.com by using Smitfraudfix and everything seems to be working ok with the computer. However, now I can not get to any sites on internet including email in outlook. My connection to the server is good. any suggestions?

    If windows explorer does not run have you tried:
    ctrl+alt+del>>file>>new task>>explorer.exe?

    If that works you just have to make windows explorer your default shell again.

    Just copy paste this into notepad save and change the default extension to .reg and run it.

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

"Shell"="explorer.exe"

    ctrl+alt+del>>file>>new task>>explorer.exe did not work. When I try to open explorer i get the hourglass for three seconds and then the hourglass goes out and nothing happens.
