I used some illegal p2p stuff, and as a result it
installed a lot of spywares, which made use of IE
vulnerabilities. Now if I open IE, it opens sume couple of
stupid popups and sometimes throws up a javascript error
dialog. Also, if i enter a wrong website url, some wiered
search page is loaded(from some website).
I run spybot and remove the listed items everyday but
without any advantage..
please suggest me how to fix my IE.. can i reinstall or
repair somehow..its really annoying.

You will need to use more than SpyBot to remove some types of malware,
adware and/or parasites that are still causing the problem. You should do
the following and see if that helps rid your system of the culprits.

Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites:

Be sure to run CWShredder, Ad-aware and Spybot.
Also be sure to use the HijackThis. Please do not post your log to this
newsgroup, but the the SpywareInfo or the Aumha HiJackThis forums
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30, to allow the experts there to
evaluate your log and advise you of the necessary steps to clean your
system.

CAUTION!!!!! Before you try to remove spyware using any of the programs
below, download a copy of LSPFIX from any of the following sites:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
(if your OS is Win2k or XP) The process of removing certain malware may kill
your internet connection. If this should occur, this program, LSPFIX, will
enable you to regain your connection.

Also, get a copy of WINSOCKFIX available at:
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html

If you need more assistance, please post back to this thread with the
details. :-)


Hope this helps
