Problem #1
MSIEFR40.DLL = BrowserAid "Featured Results" hijacker variant. BrowserAid is a
manufacturer of various Internet Explorer toolbars, most of which seem to be
installed sneakily.

Removal
Open the Control Panel's 'Add/Remove Programs' function. There should be an
entry for 'BrowserAid' or 'CashToolbar' (CashToolbar variant), 'Web Toolbar'
(ABCSearch variant) or 'BrowserPal' (BrowserPal variant).
However, the BrowserPal variant leaves an updater task behind which can
reinstall itself and other programs - see Manual Removal, BrowserPal installer.
There may not be a removal option for the LetsSearch, QuickLaunch, Rundll16,
FeaturedResults or StlbDist/StlbAd variants.
Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D can remove BrowserAid variants.
