First, I don't know what you mean by embedded unless you mean that IE6 SP1
was automatically installed with WinXP SP1. No, I don't think that's the
problem.
First eliminate any scumware.

Dealing with Unwanted Spyware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.
CWShredder is also available here:

I have XP with SP1 and IE SP1 with all the updates. And I do have spyware, adaware, spybot or anything like that installed on the machine.

Ad-Aware and Spybot S & D are just two programs to find and remove adware,
spyware and hijackware.
