IE 9 will not open

(1/3) > >>

Trying to fix my buddies computer - had some nasty stuff on here.  He stated that IE will not connect and that his virus (Norton 360) was telling him that he was infected.  I removed his Norton and McAfee and installed MSE.  I used malwarebytes and cleaned up what I found (trogans and a root kit).  I ran ccCleaner and tried your program (Windows Repair).  I ran Windows Repair twice to with the default settings.  I even tried ComboFix.

I can get on the internet w/ Chrome, but IE will not open.  I tried the icon and command line to get that open.  Funny thing, as I was registering on your site, it prompted me to upgrade quicktime and that is the only way to get IE open and surfing the web.  I even saved this site on my desktop and it will not launch IE.  I know IE works, but I cannot get it to launch.  I even tried the Microsoft "FixIT" and it still fails to open.

Any ideas?

Tried both links, both did not work.

Open the task manager and see if any iexplorer.exe are running, if they are kill them.

Then go tot he program files folder and internet explorer and run it from there instead of the short cut. Does it show up in the task manager?
