    decker666 - Welcome to the Board :)

    dwwin.exe is part of the Dr Watson Error Reporting tool.

    Please go to Event Viewer (Right click My Computer > Manage > Event Viewer > System and Application). Most of the messages are informative, but some may be flagged with a red spot with an x (Error) or a yellow ! (Warning).

    Double click on these to open - post an example of any message relevant to IE or Dr Watson (click on the icon below the up/down arrows to copy to clipboard and paste in a post here)

    That's just fine :)

    Suggest you run System File Checker ....

    Start > Run > type in sfc /scannow - note the space and have your XP CD handy. SFC will run and exit without any closing dialogue. To see which files, if any, have been replaced look in Event Viewer.

    AFAIK mfcab.dll is NOT a Windows file. You can find it and right-click, and look at the properties to see if it says where its from...

    I suggest you follow these instructions, and post a HJT log in the Removing Spyware & Viruses forum.
