IE6 Strange Behavior

[Guest]

I don't know how common this problem is as it only affects 1 computer and not
another nearly identical system. Running IE 6.0 SP2 OEM w/ MS AntiSpyware.
May be caused by earlier spyware attacks and damaged while removing spyware.

I'm constantly asked to login to MSN homepage
Cannot open streaming media in IE
IE freezes if a window loading Javascript is moved/scrolled/toggled-off
before finished loading
Inexplicable security violations on sites I'm normally able to visit (must
add to safe sites list to view)
Rejects random cookies while accepting unapproved 3rd-party cookies

I think i'm screwed - how to restore IE settings without restoring other
Windows settings?

Hi yadayadayada

You likely still have some type of malware on your system that is causing
the problem. No one anti-virus or spyware removal program, even MS
Anti-Spyware, can detect and remove all the various types of scumware and
malware that can infect your system. Some types of malware can continue to
replicate itself repeatedly if not removed properly. Follow the
instructions listed in the links below and make sure that your system is
fully cleaned. Most of all, be sure to run the HiJackThis and post a log on
one of the forums listed. It is very important that you follow with that
program. Please follow all instructions carefully.
