Hi,
Try CWShredder, followed by (freshly updated) Ad-aware and Spybot.
See: http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on
that
page.
More security tips at http://www.aumha.org/a/parasite.htm

If that routine doesn't clean things up, go to
http://www.aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm Work through steps 1-3, then post a
HijackThis log for analysis (step 4.)

Hope this helps,
Don

> I am having a lot of trouble with Internet Explorer 6.0. I keep getting an
error message saying: The instruction at "0x0157d43d" referenced memory at
"0x2f7a6e2e". The memory could not be "read". Quite often when I’m loading
any page, like Amazon.com, I find that all the images won’t load and come
up as boxes with red crosses inside. While the page that has the problem is
open, I’ve checked Task Manager and have found IE is suddenly using around
50% of my 2.8ghz cpu. When a web page becomes like this, with images not
loading, I find that I cannot load any other pages in favourites (or any web
address I type in), until I close the browser (which causes the error
message) and open a new one. I have cleared Temporary Internet Files,
Cookies, and have run Spybot, Adaware and Norton Anitvirus full system scan.
Now other people have had this error before, but they usually have the
option to press ok to terminate the program, or cancel to debug. I can only
press cancel to close the error box. I find the browser stops working all
the time, making browsing very difficult. I would appreciate any help.
