If Firefox works fine and it makes a connection to the internet, then the problem lies with Internet Explorer...Is that correct?
If so, please download the utility below, then run it. Hopefully, it repairs Internet Explorer:

It would be nice to know exactly WHICH files your husband was deleting?
Another request...Please download, install, update, then run the free spyware removal tools from the links below. Delete all spyware detected. They also might help things.

I'm still new to all of this computer stuff, & I've got a big problem. I'm hoping I can get some advice from you
My husband, who knows even less about computers then I do, deleted some files. I can't get anything to work properly with IE & windows messenger. I've been trying out Firefox & it works fine. I'm thinking that I have to reinstall IE & messenger. How do I do this? Or is there a different way to fix this? I've tried to restore things, but the computer keeps telling me nothing has changed. I'm using Windows XP home
