When I try to open either one, I get a "application failed to initialize properly (Oxc00000005)" message with a firefox.exe or yahoom~1.exe application error. Any ideas? I just ran malwarebytes and deleted a few items and mcafee found nothing. running xp.

One step further. I just tried to open other software on there and I get the same message as above.

Probably .exe files has infected or it is possibility removed by anitviru software, during the scanning time. You would have to reinstall those program again.

Tried to reinstall, at least Firefox and still no go. I'm still getting this .....exe application failed to initialize properly (Oxc00000005)" message on most of my programs including IE, Firefox, and Microsoft Word, etc. Please help, this is driving me nuts. I've run MalwareBytes and McAfee Virus Scan and both are showing my system is clean.
