How to Reinstall or Repair Internet Explorer and Outlook Express in Windows XP (Q318378)I already have the latest version of IE6 installed with xp-sp2

The frustrating part is that after booting up, IE6 will run the first time without any problem. When I close the browser and later go back and run IE6 again, it won't open then and subsequent attempts until I reboot.
However...I'm clean. Have run avg, and about three other programs checking for adware,malware,hijackers, etc.
This may be caused by spyware/malware that's gotten installed on
your system. Use Ad-Aware, Windows Defender and/or Spybot Search & Destroy to remove it.

Windows Defender (beta) http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx.
Ad-Aware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
Spybot: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html
Good sites on how to install and use Spybot -

Also download a winsock repair tool, to have just in case cleaning up anything found breaks it -

If no joy, in IE go to Tools...Internet Options...Advanced tab, Browsing
section, uncheck "Enable third-party browser extensions", click Apply, click
Okay, reboot. If that solves your problem, then more troubleshooting is
needed to find out exactly which program, or Browser Helper Object (BHO) is
causing this problem. You don't want to leave it at that, as some BHOs are
useful or necessary - like Adobe Acrobat for reading .pdf files or an
essential component of Norton AV. Get BHODemon -
http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm - read all about BHOs.
Disable all items, and then gradually replace one or two at a time to narrow
down the culprit.
Or if you have IE 6 SP-2 you can do this within the browser:

If all the above fails, then the problem could be something new that the
spyware cleaners above don't have in their databases yet. In that case....
