A friend has been using the Guest account on my Windows Xp machine. He
managed to download something that kept giving a Dr. Watson error each time
he tried to launch IE 7 and would shut it down straight away. This I fixed
but then every time you launch ie in the Guest account as soon as you started
to input text in the address bar ie would close down immediate, now just
giving the standard Microsoft error message. This I have also fixed by
resetting IE.

Now the final error I cannot fix is this "An exception occurred while trying
to "C:\Windows\system32\inetcpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByPr ocess 4351 444 179". I
get this message when I try and delete the browsing history.

Any help greatly appreciated. This issue is only effecting IE 7 in the Guest
User account, my personal account is fine.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing programs like Messenger Plus,
whose ads for malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince
you that you owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see
what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure
of.
