it fully gone weird

[Ben Kenny]

Ever since i took the swen virus off my computer IE6 has gone weird. Whenver
i click on a favourite an error message pops up. For example if i go to
www.hotmail.com

Cant find the file 'http://www.hotmail.com/' (or one of it's components).
Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries
are available.

Also when i start to type an adddress. Sometimes not all an illegall
operation message comes up forcing me to close IE6

I have got Spybot S&D and i dont have any spyware.
Is it some setting or has something been deleted? Any help appreciated
Thanks

It may be a HOSTS file problem.
Look also for a file named HOSTS (no extension, could be hidden) rename it
OLDHOSTS.

There may still be some registry settings to remove.
