pardon my ignorance! but I would like to know if there is a way to view the history in internet explorer, even after it has been cleared? anyway to restore it? any other folder to access it etc?

Not really. Certainly not easily. The history is deleted like most any other file on the hard disk (except it's not placed in the recycle bin, unfortunately). There are undelete utilities for files in general, but it'd be very difficult to determine what needs to be undeleted, and even then, it's possible, even likely, that the information has been overwritten if the computer has been used much since.

i got an email from a friend, i opened it and now i get this online program on my desktop. I delete it and it keeps coming back now my internet connection keeps getting cut off. I went into its properties and it says its target is in explore how can i remove it without removing explor itself

Sounds like spyware. Grab a scanner and it should clean it up. Recommendations: http://ask-leo.com/d-recommend
