Gee wiz, You got a lot of work to do. Start by clicking the blue e with the right mouse button. Then click properties. Then click "delete cookies". Then click "delete files". Check "delete all offline content". Click OK. Then click "clear history". Then click "settings". Then click "view objects". Then delete everything you see there. You will lose some features. But you can always get them back again.

Look in add/remove programs. See if you got anything strange there. Remove it!

Right click those strange icons. click properties. Look at "Target" to see what directory they are located in. Delete that directory! Unless of course its important, like a windows directory.

Get yourself some tools. I got Hyjack This, Spybot Search and Destroy, Adaware, NOD32 antivirus.

You also have to make yourself a Clean Boot disk. I got BART PE. You use this so you can manually erase stuff that cant be erased. Its a little hard to use. In the OLD days making a clean boot disk was easy. Not anymore!

Oh, I forgot! If you got nothing important on your computer, just use your restore CD to erase EVERYTHING! They usually have two choices on those things. Format and Restore, or Just Restore. Go for the Format and Restore. YOU will have to reinstall any programs that didn't come with the computer.
