I recently upgraded a computer with Windows XP SP1 (no further updates, auto update off) to SP2, IE7, and all of the other updates that come with turning on automatic updates. IE did not work. Opening folders did not work. When I deleted this add-on, IE and everything else worked fine. Originally, I had to run IE7 without add-ons.

Die Datei pxwma.dll befindet sich entweder im Ordner "C:\Windows" oder "C:\Windows\System32". Sie ist keine Systemdatei von Windows sondern ein BHO, kann IE überwachen / fremdsteuern. Keine genauere Beschreibung über diesen Dienst ermittelbar, Datei wird vom Betriebssystem Windows nicht benötigt, sie ist keine Systemdatei, befindet sich aber dennoch im Windows Order.
