Hi

[Win2K SP4]

A load of adware/spyware has got onto my machine. I'm behind a firewall and
I'm using AdAware and SpyBot and AVG and none of them seem to be reporting
any malware etc. I've done a trendmicro housecall and got a clean bill of
health. However, IE just doesn't seem to be working properly .e.g. the
status bar never remains on between sessions and I'm still getting
occasional popups etc. I've jhad a look with HijackThis and nothing seems
amiss

Is there a way to do a fresh install of IE so I can start from scratch
again?
If not what other courses of action should I be looking to do

Thanks

Simon
