    That should help you with your internet situation...I was using IE for a long time with some of the same issues, and friends finally convinced me to download FireFox 3...and it's worked great ;) :)

    You don't necessarily have to uninstall IE.. just leave it there and don't use it. Instead just fix your Firefox as your default browser and use it for browsing.

    And the new IE is not that bad either.. probably you are just missing some plugin' or similar. Anyway, try with firefox!!

    Don't uninstall IE... it hooks into so many other things with the OS. Keep it to makes sure things are running smoothly. Removing IE would probably cause more trouble. Just leave it and never use it.

    Enjoy FF :cool:

    Try getting in some other free anti spyware tools (like super antispyware / malwarebytes antimalware > for more look in the sticky in the securiy and anti-virus forum) and run a complete system check... also did you run a complete scan with windows defender? I would scrub the system clean with these and then see how it goes.. also you could try completely uninstalling IE and reinstall.. if nothing works, another option is to backup important things on ur system and try an in-place repair / upgrade process.. it also helps. Good luck.
