Is there a way to repair 6.0? I remember it was 5. or 5.5 you could go to
the add/remove and there was a repair.

I am thinking maybe something got messed up in the browser...and that is why
it is not going to websites
(according to things I have checked, it does not have the qhost virus)
 
It's not in IE. You can enter any of this in start/run:

rundll32 setupwbv.dll,IE6Maintenance

rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132
C:\windows\inf\ie.inf

sfc /scannow

However, I'd imagine this won't solve your problem as it's most likely being
caused by hijackware:

These days most of us are recommending HijackThis to identify and assist in
the removal of these bad guys. Post your files to the forum mentioned on
the above page.

If you cannot access the page to download HijackThis, use this link:

If you find you need CoolWebSearch Shredder, use this link:

(Get a fresh copy of CWS Shredder before each use. It's updated
frequently.)

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on do both once-a-day.
