Cannot delete Favorites in IE

I've been using the internet for a while now and everything worked fine. Since few months ago, I could not defend from viruses and various malwares. I also reinstalled complete operating system from the beginning two times but it did not give any lasting results. After a day or two on the Internet and I have some virus related problems again. In the last few days, I cannot delete any favorites in IE. Is that also because of some virus?

I cannot be sure is your problem connected to some virus. Anyway, first you should try is to check your machine for viruses. By my experience, using a combination of SpyBot Search and Destroy and AVG should be the best tool for that. Those programs are both freeware which is good, but, what is even more important, that is not reducing their efficiency at all. It is a deathly combination for viruses. The best proof for that is that I am also on the Internet almost every day, I am using IE and I do not have any problems. If you have Windows XP, install Service Pack 2. If nothing of this helps, you should do a surface test of your hard drive because there is a possibility that you have a bad sector and that it is located in your Internet Explorer Favorites folder, which is causing you problems.
