Failed to get data for 'ad' for IE6.1 & win2000 explorer

[M. Miranda]

I have recently had the same message. However, I am getting
the message when I open (windows + e) windows 2000 explorer
and the MS browser IE6.1.

When opening IE6.1 the program generates "failed to get
data for 'ad'" (w/iexplore header). I hit the ok button and
IE completely opens, then immediately generates a program
error stating: IEXPLORE.exe has generated errors and will
be closed by windows. You will need to restart the program.
An error log is being created.

I have uninstalled IE6.1 and restored the older version (at
least twice). The option to repair the program was not
possible.

I'm searching for answers. Can anyone help?

M. Miranda,
This problem appears to be from the following:
Note: AdRoar adware was bundled with other files you downloaded

Note: shows up in HijackThis as:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {E0F0E0E1-5D45-11D4-BC00-2DCC73302D70}
- C:\WINDOWS\system32\cpr.dll

Go to: http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/
Download "Hijack This!" [freeware] or download direct (below):
http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip

Unzip, double-click "HijackThis.exe" and Press "Scan".

With IE closed:

Rescan with HijackThis: Select: the above "02" entry
Remove the above entry by checking the box to the left and clicking 'fixed
checked'

Since the above was bundled with other possible parasites:
