IE won't close

[Bryan Howell]

Hello,

After a very severe Adware/Spyware attack, I seem to have
a problem with closing all IE windows. I click the "x"
or file->close and then it beeps and nothing more. It
then continues to run. If I open up the tasklist, it is
listed as running and using 100% of my system resources.
Sometimes I can close it from there. I've tried numerous
things to no avail. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

First eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:
