Yesterday I encountered that "anti-virus suite" malware which I successfully removed immediately with a Malwarebyte Quick Scan.

I don't know if there's any connection but I'm now having a strange IE problem...it doesn't function. When I open Internet Explorer, I get this notice "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage." I contacted my ISP (which is Optonline) and they suggested that I reinstall IE8, which I did, but I'm still experiencing the same problem.

While I can access the Internet using my Firefox Browser, and AOL's browser does work as well, I am having other IE-related problems (even though Firefox is my default browser.) For example, if I click on a link in a Word Document, I get the following error message:

RUNDLL Error loading C;\windows\sfsal32.dll
The specific module could not be found

Also, I attempted to upload a jpg. file into Photobucket (a photo-storage web-site) and it wouldn't upload successfully even though I was using Firefox to connect to that web-site. I can only assume that there's a connection since I never had a problem uploading there before this.

I did a Google search regarding the sfsal32.dll mentioned in the error message that I mentioned but the Google search oddly came up with nothing. so I don't even know how to approach this issue.

Any help would certainly be appreciated. THANKS
