Internet Explorer 10 Will Not Open or Uninstall - Windows 7, 64 bit
My son's laptop recently crashed and I cleaned up the viruses that had caused the problems. It's up and running just fine using Chrome and Firefox, but IE10 refuses to open. We get a window that has the look of IE, but with an empty address bar and nothing inside the box. We get the blue spinning circle for about 15 seconds before it and the window disappear. I believe he's been using IE10, but he's not completely sure.
When I go to Control Panel/Programs and Features/View Installed Updates, Windows Internet 10 is listed. If I try to uninstall it I get a small msg box that reads, An error has occurred. Not all of the updates were successfully uninstalled. There is no error number and all I can do is click OK.
If I download IE10 and try to install it, I get a msg headed Internet Explorer did not finish installing with the verbiage Setup can't continue because a more recent version of Internet Explorer is installed on your computer. Once again OK is the only option.
I have gone to Control Panel/Internet Options/Advanced tab and performed a Reset, and a restore of the advanced options.. Nothing...
Because of the crash he has no restore points available.
Additionally, I've now discovered that I cannot install Malwarebytes, getting an ieframe.dll or one of its dependencies not currently registered: a file is missing or invalid.
Ideas?
