250266 2004-07-06 09:19:00 When attempting to do a web " Quick Clean" clean up with X P professional and Symantec System Works I get the following message

"Warning Internet Explorer is currently loaded. Quick clean may not be able to completely clean your internet Cache or Internet history. Please close all open browsers before continuing"

The only problem is that I can find no open browser. Ignoring this message does not help as I just go around in circles, the same message comes up each time. Symantec were some help initially and cleared up the problem once but it came back soon after.

Can any one help with a solution please.

250267 2004-07-06 09:23:00 Control, alt delete, together, and check the task manager hasn't got IE running as a process, and if it has, turn it off, then try again. Well that is the first thing I would do anyway. Good luck supergran (108)

In Windows Task Manager I have the following tasks that indicate explorer - explorer.exe - IEXPLORE.EXE and msmsgs.exe

Which "wire" do I cut so that it does not explode?

This one you DO NOT want to stop or you will need to restart your computer or the computer will restart.

> IEXPLORE.EXE

This is the one YOU want to stop

> and msmsgs.exe

This is msn messenger

Hope this helps :)

I have been through the process and it works. I will shut down and see if the problem returns.
