text: what's iecontrol.bpl? it came up on my pc when doing a system check...it said that it could not continue because the file was missing....:?  any help out there? bpl files are borland packed library files. since i wouldn't believe that microsoft used borland's delphi to write internet explorer or any of its controls, i would say your system is infected with a virus which is trying to mimic some of internet explorer's functions.   i would say reformat your computer, install a good firewall and antivirus and live happily ever after!
