My IE (7, I think) doesn't load. I have gone back to a previous restore point, reloaded ieproxy.dll (which had disappeared), and run Malwarebytes' Anti-malware software (which found and removed 2 infected files). I can watch, in Windows Task Manager, the iexplore file come and go, but it doesn't load.
Thanks for any help.

I did what you said. IE still doesn't start up. I can see iexplore.exe in the list processes when I double click on IE. It stays up for about 15 seconds, then goes away.
Lets see if it's the browser.
Lets try a different browser. Click the link and download FireFox and give it a try.

I already did that. That's how I'm viewing your responses. Firefox works fine.
