Internet Explorer Corrupted!!

I had a problem with IE6 installed on Windows XP SP2. It was complaining about Visual C++ error on iexplorer.exe and close the browser once you clicked OK.

I run this command to restore IE to its original state:

rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%\Inf\ie.inf

it needs a CD for Windows XP SP2 as well as Windows XP to get the original files.

It doesn't really fix the issue, then I downloaded Hijack This:

Run the scan and paste the log to:

and remove the Nasty item from the computer. Reboot and aha!! fixed!!
