Paul,
This problem appears to be from the following:
Note: AdRoar adware was bundled with other files you downloaded

Note: shows up in HijackThis as:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {E0F0E0E1-5D45-11D4-BC00-2DCC73302D70}
- C:\WINDOWS\system32\cpr.dll

[more info]
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/adware.adroar.html

Go to: http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/
Download "Hijack This!" [freeware] or download direct (below):
http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip

Unzip, double-click "HijackThis.exe" and Press "Scan".

With IE closed:

Rescan with HijackThis: Select: the above "02" entry
Remove the above entry by checking the box to the left and clicking 'fixed
checked'

Since the above was bundled with other possible parasites:

I have recently had the same message. However, I am getting
the message when I open (windows + e) windows 2000 explorer
and the MS browser IE6.1.

When opening IE6.1 the program generates "failed to get
data for 'ad'" (w/iexplore header). I hit the ok button and
IE completely opens, then immediately generates a program
error stating: IEXPLORE.exe has generated errors and will
be closed by windows. You will need to restart the program.
An error log is being created.

I have uninstalled IE6.1 and restored the older version (at
least twice). The option to repair the program was not
possible.

I'm searching for answers. Can anyone help?
