Each time I try to use IE or even just the Windows
Explorer, I get the error message "This module was compiled
using a trial version of Delphi." Then I receive a request
from IE to send an error report. Whichever option I click
then generates the Delphi error message all over again,
creating an infinite loop of sorts. The problem cropped up
tonight when I was going through my mail. My cursor landed
on some spam; Outlook tried previewing it and, boom. Also,
when I type my name and password into McAfee, it doesn't
merely reject it; it acts as if I never submitted anything.

It is essential to check for spyware/hijackware/foistware.

Go to IE tools, internet options, general tab. Click on the cache settings
button and then 'view objects'. Delete anything you don't recognise. If you
are unsure, or no objects appear, for diagnosis purposes I REALLY like
BHODemon, available at http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm. It
does not need installing - simply unzip and run the EXE programme. It is
very easy to use.

I find this programme is a better option than IE6's ability to turn off
"Enable third-party browser extensions (requires restart)". This disables
*all* plug-ins and makes troubleshooting very difficult.

Many people like AdAware, available at www.lavasoft.de . Make sure you keep
the signature files up to date and remember, AdAware may only remove the
current installation of spyware; it may not do anything about software that
reinstalls itself, so unless you want to get stuck in an endless loop of
hijack/cleanout/hijack/cleanout make sure you get rid of whatever is
installing the junk. See my Troubleshooting advice for information about
how to track down and get rid of spyware completely.

An excellent replacement for AdAware is Spybot. Again, it is a free
programme which can be downloaded from:
