I'm in a pickle with IE

Installed a 3rd party pop up killer which totally bogged
down the pc. I DID make some settings with cookies in the
program before I uninstalled it. Now my user
(administrator) IE doesn't work, but works fine for
others on this pc. Here's what I've done so far and
nothing seems to work.

1. System restore, which doesn't do a complete restore,
no matter where I roll it back (I even disconnected the
internet from PC at this point, just in case).
2. Did a repair under Control Panel/Network Connection.
3. Gone to IE tools/internet options/connections and
reset the connection.

I've done a search for the program to erase all traces of
it and have found some things (files extensions .pf) that
I think are in the registry and I have no idea wether I
can just remove them like that or is there a particular
way to go about this? Will this even MAKE a difference?

Thanks in advance!

GAH! Will someone please help me?
I also ran my antivirus prog, and came up with the trojan
byteverify virus, which it can't quarantine, segregate or
delete, which pretty much leaves me with having to
reinstall my OS, huh?

Lovely! Nice! No response to my question. Mustn't have
been explanatory enough or it's been a busy day. Thanks
anyways.

Well upon further investigation, it would seem as I'm not
the only one not having responses, so it must be a day
off for the gurus. I'll try another time.

Your question is a little short on details. How does IE not "work". Is
there an error message? A numerical error code? Does email work?
 
Check your hosts file for entries other than localhost. Clean your
cookies.
