BleepingComputer.com: Internet Explorer6 Doesn't Want To Work Right

I am using IE6 and when I try to open it up, it's very slow and nothing really happens. I am able to see most of my tool bars; however, the actual page is blank or is white background with numbers. Does anyone have any idea what's going on with my IE? I was recently hijacked but thanks to all of you, that problem is solved. Thanks for taking the time to read this and any help is appreciated!

I am also having to hold down the ctrl button when I want to open anything up under IE. Otherwise I get the following error boxs.

1) The instruction @ "OxO23538ae" referenced memory at "0x0246c930". The memory could not be "read". Click ok to terminate the program.

2) Run time error 216 @ 023538ae

?????? not sure what this means, hope someone can help.
Thanks,

Hi Butterfly3x5,

It sounds like you computer is infected and we need to see a HijackThis log to begin knowing what infected it and what to do with it...

Please download HijackThis from here:
http://www.merijn.org/programs.php

To run HJT, extract it to a permanent folder such as one you create like C:\HJT or the Desktop. Close all open windows and
browsers and make sure that all programs are enabled if you use msconfig. Run it and Scan, then Save the log.
When the log window appears, Right click to Copy it, open your browser and come here to Paste the entire log. Do
not make any changes until it is checked since most items are either benign or essential to the computer.

Kind regards,

Rosty.

Butterfly3x5,

I moved your HJT log to the appropriate forum.
Here, is the link:

NOTE:
Please, DO NOT make another post in the HJT forum, until it has been responded to by a member of the HJT Team. The first thing they look for, when looking for logs to reply to, is 0 replies. If you make another post, there will be 1 reply. The team member, glancing over the replies, might think someone is already helping you out, and will not respond. So, just make your post, and let it sit there, until a team member responds. This way you will be taken care of, in the most timely manner.

Also, don't make any changes to your system, as that could change the results of the posted log, making it more difficult to properly clean your system.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to PM me.
