Check in the Add/Remove programs list for an entry "Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and Internet Tools and see if it is still there. If it is you can do a REPAIR of IE and OE.

If Internet Explorer or Explorer has been damaged by hijackers, virus or other Malware, try to REPAIR IE with the IE service pack update files on your system. To REPAIR IE, go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs icon, and select (highlight) the entry for "Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and Internet Tools" and then click the Add/Remove button at the bottom of the window. In the options window, select the "Repair Internet Explorer" option and click OK. When it is done reboot the system.

If not able to do a REPAIR of IE, look in the C:\Windows folder for a folder named "Window Update Setup Files" and in it the program IE6SETUP.EXE and if there, you should be able to run IE6SETUP and reinstall IE6.0 that way.

If you are still having problems and unsure of your Startup list programs (and what HijackThis shows), you can use MSCONFIG and its Startup tab to temporally disable startup programs that you don't need. If you use Dial-Up you will have to identify your modem driver(s) and make sure you keep them in the list. Use the following link to determine what the required Startup tab entries are that you don't have to have while you clean up your system. The rest can be temporally remove until you can investigate each one of them (some may be left over from Adware/Spyware that has been deleted). You can also use the web site this web page
