whenever I open internet explorer it says that internet explorer that it has encountered a problem and then closes it is there anything I can do to fix this
there is this program in my remove program list called advertismen and it wont get removed and it says error loading: system32/pushow71.dll and i dont remember installing or getting this
You can run Lavasoft AdAware (free download), Spybot Search and Destroy, HijackThis (have to read up on what to do with HiJackThis.. you can mess up something if you're not careful)
or anything of that sort and have it scan your drive. With Spybot, my only issue is, I don't usually use the Windows Security Center stuff, so I have it disabled sometimes. When I run Spybot SnD, it shows "windows security center antivirus" or firewall or 'auto updates" as being disabled and lists it as a problem. If you leave them 'checked' , it will enable the security center stuff for you.. and I hate that so I always make sure it's unchecked in the spybot list of problems before I hit FIX ISSUES.
I also use TuneUP utilities 2007. I got it on torrent to try it and figured it'd just be another lame utility. I love it. It runs great, so I bought it. It does alot of cool tweaks to the system for you. Fixes issues with the registry as well.
I also defrag with Diskeeper from Executive Software. Best one on the market. Back in the 90's I was a Norton guy, then I saw what a resource hog Norton is, like AOL, and I quit using it.
Another good spyware finder is Webroot SpySweeper. Unsure about any trials on that tho.
I googled your dll issue and didn't find anything but one sight that was selling software that helps fix dll's and figured it's .
