What does file verclsid.exe do?
Yesterday the Microsoft Updates were downloaded and installed on my home computer system and today I'm noticing problems with Internet Explorer. Specifically when I type anything into the address bar, a program starts running in the task manager called verclsid.exe it is in the system32 folder. After this happens IE locks up until I end all events of verclsid.exe then it will function again for one item and it starts again.
Does anyone have any suggestions

Hello psuguru97
If you look at clsid.exe this related to a program called EZCLAIMS
http://www.hcrnet.com/advantages.htm
the VER in front I believe represents>> verify therefor it is saying it cannot verify > clsid.exe results>verclsid.exe error.
Would explain why it cannot run,
