My PC has two user accounts. I am the Administrator. My profile was infected by a virus. It wouldn't let me open any programs from the desk top or the start menu. The other profile was not affected.

The virus was one of those ones that kept on trying to sell me fake microsoft anti virus programs and when I didn't fall for that, it tried to tempt me into a generic porn site!

In the end I was able to remove the virus using Windows Defender (the soft ware I had before that wasn't doing a lot of good).

I still have a problem, though. I can't access the internet from my profile. I can send and receive e-mail but I'm not getting my RSS feeds. I've run Reg Cure, but to no avail.

I am considering uninstalling and re-installing the internet explorer. Will that solve my problem? Any other suggestions. Thanks. (It's annoying using the internet from the other profile, for one think I use my mouse left-handed & the other user doesn't...)
