Nibor,
Without knowing the actual problem:

Reinstallation of Internet Explorer just restores the missing/corrupt IE system files, and does not eliminate spyware or any consequences caused by spyware. In MOST cases, reinstallation of Internet Explorer is not necessary, especially true in case of Windows XP (again guessing the Operating System as XP, as you've provided none of the information).

[Set the registry key "IsInstalled" to 0]
