Hi!

The other day, I discovered a spyware on my computer,
Incredifind.com. Using the tool posted on their site, I
removed the offensive program, only to discover that my
Internet Explorer no longer is able to browse the internet.

A friend mailed me the install files for an other browser
(Opera), which works fine, so I know there's nothing wrong
with my [ADSL] connection.

I've looked everywhere for fixes, several MS Knowledgebase
articles are close, but they don't remedy my problem.

Any suggestions, apart from reinstalling?

Please help as fast as you can....
