I have not used internet explorer for two months (since October) now (been on a ship cruising the Pacific) and from what I can last recalｌ it worked fine before I left.
When ever I try to run internet explorer I get nothing; no browser, no error message, no nothing. I have tried to run it as an administrator, but got the same response.
I have also tried doing a system restore back 2 months, but I always get the same message that there was an error during the system restore and it could not be completed. My desktop looks like it was restored to 2 months ago, but internet explorer still doesnt work!
The internet connectivity does work though and I was able to use it to update several programs, but any link that opens an IE browser will not work.
The only thing I have done really since it last worked was update some programs and also several window updates.
Also the news feed in my sidebar wont update.
Any help would be great! Are there any virsuses that can cause this?

You got Vista didn't you?
bad idea.
=/
Windows vista almost forces you to use explorer(which sucks)
Firefox is the best, most reliable, and safest.
If your computer came with an Application recovery CD/DVD
you could use that to re-install it.
or you could completely remove it from your computer. download it from a different computer and move the setup file(via flash drive, cd, dvd, ect...) onto you computer and re-install it.

Windows Browser It is only good for updating your operating system is an open door to your operating system to start with. Like going outside naked.
I never in my 12 years on the net have use it to browse the net.
Netscape and now my default Mozilla-Firefox which VISTA I hear will not allow you to use that sucks as does VISTA
So take it as a warning watch out using IE maybe.

There may be a lot of reasons; for one of them follow the below procedure:
form IE toolbar choose "Tools/Internet Options/Connections"
in this menu find your connection and click on "settings". In the opened window, from uncheck all the boxes in "Proxy Server" part.
