Hmm...

I'm no expert on this (rarely affected by such things) but off the top of my head -

explorer is not internet explorer.

One is your hm...gui perhaps..your windows and such.
The other is your browser. (which I do NOT recommend using as your standard browser in the future. nor Netscape. Look into Firefox or Opera once you get this sorted).

Sounds like you have a hijacker, check the sticky at the top of this forum for all the progs you can run to clean up your system.

Depending on the results/performance after, you may simply be better off doing a format c: (perhaps have a more puter literate friend help you with that?).

Good luck!

//edit: what version of windows you running?
