I tried registering all of those files and it didn't help. I couldn't figure out how to do the first suggestion:
"you could delete the activex updater found in
Internet Explorer>general>settings>view objects, and delete anything microsoft or windows related,"
I couldn'teven follow the path that he suggested. I have IE 7. Is that why? What should I be looking for? Is he saying that you open the properties window for IE7? When I did that, I found things like Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool and Windows Live Safety Center Base Module among other things. Am I close?
I also noticed that there are 3 files in the chest under systems. They are kernel32.dll, winsock.dll, and wsock32.dll. Should those be there?
