IE 6 crash when clicking on link opening a new window

[jon]

I tried removing a spyware manually once as it could not
be removed by AD-aware. After I removed it, my IE keeps
crashing if I click on a link that opens a new window. I
tried reinstalling and disabling all my firewalls but
nothing helps. I have also tried the dll fix mentioned
here:

Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 281679

Can someone please email me if there is any suggestions?
Thank you!
