I have Windows XP SP2 with all the latest updates installed.

The problem is, my computer got infected with 2-3 viruses.
They infected most of my system's files.
I had to remove them all using a removal tool.
Now the main problem is, they also infected my Internet Explorer files (the ones in c:\program files\internet explorer).
So, my Internet Explorer is gone.

I tried reinstalling the SP2 for Windows XP seperately with no use.
I also tried reinstalling the browser using Add/Remove Windows Components but it also didn't help.
The browser is gone.

I am currently using Firefox as my only browser.
But there are some sites that don't function correctly in Firefox.

I don't want to reinstall windows.

Kindly help me.

maybe a repair ( not reinstall ) of Your OS can help ... not sure though :(
