Since we now have a working browser, I would like you to download & run the program Hijackthis.exe. It may shed some light as to what's troubling IE.
----------------
Download
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/file...ckthis_sfx.exe
1. Double-click on the file you just downloaded.
2. Click on the "Unzip" button to install the newer version.
3. It will by default install to the directory -
C:\Program Files\HiJackThis\
4. If it gives you an intro screen, just choose - Do a system scan and save a logfile.
5. If you don't get the intro screen, just hit [Scan] and then click on Save log.
6. Post the HiJackThis.log file
