IE hangs

[Andy Kirke]

IE 6 hangs whenever you try to search. This happens with
any search engine. IE 6 works perfectly apart from this.
I have run adaware 6, spybot, cws and hijackthis which
removed some spyware. I have also run IE repair. Here is
the error report. I would be greatful for any help.

szAppName : iexplore.exe
szAppVer : 6.0.2800.1106
szModName : hungapp
szModVer : 0.0.0.0
offset : 00000000

To protect against an other attack, be sure to install hotfix 828750 which
fixes the exploit that this virus uses.
