Internet Explorer causing crashes

[Nick H]

Like the other Nick, IE refuses to open. On a second
attempt, it seems to cause a crash in Program manager and
I've extracted the following gobbledygook, known to the
wise as "detais". Can anyone translate and/or help me
solve this?

First eliminate any scumware.

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:

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
