CoolWebSearch Chronicles & CWShredder

Run in this order:
1. CWShredder (fix all)
2. Ad-Aware (fix all)
3. Spybot (generally, fix all in red)
Important: You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each
and every use, even "right out of the box". But even they can't catch
everything, 24/7. When all else fails, HijackThis
(
http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.
So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?

A while back I didn't know what I was doing, and I
deleted a bunch of files. Apparently one of them was
needed for Internet Explorer to work. SO now every time I
click the Icon I just get the Error report window. I
tried to remove the explorer from my computer and
reinstall but every time I try it says I already have
Internet Explorer on my computer. Does anyone have a
solution, or know how to completly remove Internet
Explorer?(I tried Add/Remove Programs)
Thanks
