Does anyone know the name of the virus or whatever it is that will:
Shutdown Outlook express using the MSOERES.DLL file
while denying acess to "add or remove programs"
while shutting down Windows Media Player
while stopping all downloads while
screwing up more things that I can think of right now?
If you do I'll pay good money for the answer.
I'll let you decide if you need the name of the virus to fix the problem.

I searched with google and could find no specific virus to blame. What might work in WindowsXP is to download a fresh (uncorrupted) version of this msoeres.dll from http://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-files.php/dllfiles/M/msoeres.dll/download.html and insert it in the two places where it's supposed to be----->
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache
and
C:\Program Files\Outlook Express
Why not kill off all viruses in your system? Then repair Outlook Express via windows repair on your XP disc and re-installing service packs SP2 or SP1 with updates. If you have broadband you can download these service packs all at once. Download is about 130mb.SP2 is more.
In XP repair looks pretty easy and you will be updating it at the same time. As a general rule, make sure OE is updated to the max with available patches
