    I've been getting this message for the past two days. The exact error reads:

    terrabyte
    Run-time error '53'
    File not found

    It shows up everytime I try to load a website in IE, but not when I use the AOL browser. I have tried reloading both windows and IE and I have have no luck in getting the error to disappear.

    Does anyone know anything about this error?

    That message looks to be a broken file reference (IE trying to access something that is no longer available). A HijackThis log might help to diagnose this problem, and it might show other spyware problems...

    HOW TO? Read here about how to post your log!!

    I used the HijackThis program and got this (I wasn't sure what to erase from this so I just copied it straight from the saved log and it's huge!):

    I am using Windows XP Home Edition. I was hit with a few trojans in the past couple of days and that is when the error started. The error only shows up when I am using the IE browser.
