    update ur anti-virus signatures
    and do a scan all processes in memory

    if it doesnt find anything


    scan all files..

    sounds like a virus

    The chances are that the virus may stop u from updating the a/v.

    If that is the case find a mate who has up to date a/v and scan your harddrive through his machine and that will do the trick:D

    or use an online antivirus scanner - mostly they can't remove anything, but at least you'll know if you're infected.

    As an update.
    Went into add/remove and selected fix IE6 and restarted.

    No more Win 32 errors after that-for some reason , some registery keys were missing.

    So I've sucessfully installed mozilla now:p

    and went back to uninstall IE6:ninja:

    Curious enough that does indeed sound like a virus (the namne escapes me) but if sorting IE6 fixed the issue
    then more power to you :D
    Mozilla wins again!
