IE won't close; random problems

[seemi786]

I installed ada-ware's pop-up blocker a few weeks ago, and
right after that my IE went crazy. I uinstalled ada-ware
but IE still will not "close" either from the File menu or
by attempting to close the window. Also, there are random
irregularaties, like the "tab" or "delete" key functions
do not work on any websites being viewed through my
Internet Explorer. Can I uninstall my current IE 6.0 and
reinstall it? [WIndowns Media Player also stopped working
after uninstalling ada-ware].

Any suggestions?

sounds like you have some spy/malware at least.
