explorer

[explorer won't start]

When trying to connect to the internet I get a message "Explorer has
encountered a problem and needs to close"--it never actually connects. Prior
to this problem I had a bunch of spyware despite having Ad-awareSE, pest
patrol, norton anti-virus. I deleted some programs from "add/remove
programs" and may have inadvertently deleted explorer. The desktop icon is
gone, I don't find it in "add/remove programs" and i don't find it in windows
find/search. I tried system restore and that didn't work either. Should I
use my restore disk? Or what?

What made you choose an asp newsgroup to ask this question? It quite far
from the topic of this newsgroup.
