Sorry about that.

Booted into safe mode
Ran CWShredder
Booted into safe mode
Did a complete AdAware Scan
Booted into safe mode
Run MS Antispyware
Booted into safe mode
Run Spybot S&D
Booted into safe mode
Ran LSPfix and Winsockfix
Did a normal reboot

Problem still persists.  IE will not start.  I did notice that IE ran
in safe mode, which seems to suggest something has not been deleted
that should have been.

Ideas appreciated, and thanks again for your help this far.

Greg

Hi Frank,

Have run LSP-Fix and WinsockFix and it has not repaired IE.

Any other suggestions appreciated.

Those are for after you remove the malware (I did say that).  You
